Ohio State Pass Catchers Primed to Step Up with Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave and Jeremy Ruckert Off to the NFL

Most Ohio State fans dry heaved last week when athletic director Gene Smith said he'd prefer the Buckeyes play a CFP "home" game in a domed stadium like Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis or Ford Field in Detroit.

Smith cited the hard ground on a cold outdoor field and winter weather which irked fans desperately wanting to see a school like Alabama forced to deal with the seasonal elements in Columbus.

What he should've flatly said was he wants Ohio State to play indoors because Ryan Day's offense is predicated on throwing the ball two-thirds of the time and playing in shitty weather compromises the Buckeyes' chances to win no matter what the conditions might do to an opponent unfamiliar with cold, wind and precipitation.
