After looking last week at the rushing production that must be replaced in 2016 with the departure of Ezekiel Elliott and others, today the focus shifts to Ohio State's receiving metrics gone from last season as Cardale Jones, Michael Thomas, Braxton Miller, Jalin Marshall, Nick Vannett and Elliott all move on to the NFL.
Similar to the seismic production lost in the rushing game – the Buckeyes lost 73% of their rushing yards and 67% of the accompanying rushing touchdowns from 2015 – the the passing attack production lost from players no longer in the program includes the departure of 81% of the receptions, 80% of the receiving yards and 89% of the touchdown catches.
