The Buckeyes sparked intrigue when they landed Max Klare out of the transfer portal this offseason, but two games into his Ohio State tenure, fans were waiting on that spark to become a flash.
Against Ohio in the second quarter, after three red zone trips resulted in six total points to start the game for Ohio State, it appeared the Buckeyes would be settling for a field goal again on 3rd-and-10 at the Bobcats’ 16-yard line. Julian Sayin dropped back and found nobody open at first. He scrambled to his right to extend the play.
Klare, who was the underneath post in a double-post concept with wide receiver Carnell Tate, saw Sayin escape the pocket and glanced back at his quarterback to get on the same page.
