WRs Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson
Best wide receiver duo in the country? Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson certainly are making their claim for that title through two games. The pair have combined for 464 yards receiving and three touchdowns on the year. And they have each had a contested touchdown go off their hands in the end zone, or it could be more. Justin Fields has been finding them any way he can. Olave is a deep-ball weapon and is smooth near the sideline. Wilson is a versatile threat on crossing routes and down the field. No matter where they line up, they seem to be unstoppable. And with a soft November slate of opponents, they have more opportunities to stake their claim as the best wide receiver pair in America.

CHRIS OLAVE
  • "We feel like we have a lot of targets in the passing game, a lot of threats, a lot of people that we can depend on in the passing game." He says they have multiple people they can go to.
  • "Practice is practice. We're all practicing hard. That's what we do here."
  • On his connection with Justin Fields: "I feel like it's way better." He says they built the chemistry during the offseason.
  • Olave says routine passes have to be routine, and he has to make a play for the team on contested targets.
  • On the pairing of him and Garrett Wilson: "I feel like me and Garrett are a good duo. Garrett gets a lot of targets in the slot, and if they want to bracket him in the slot, you've got me on the outside."
  • He says he ever expected Ohio State to offer him a scholarship. "I always wonder why the Pac-12 wasn't first."
  • Olave says there was "never a doubt" he'd play vs. Penn State. He says he felt good even on the sideline after getting dinged in the season opener.
  • "I'm looking to take more pride in my blocking this year."
  • On deep balls from Fields: "Them the shots that we want. Them the shots that I want, for sure."
  • On Ryan Day saying he's maybe the best receiver he's been around: "That means a lot, especially coming from coach Day." He says he kept his head down and kept working to get to this point.
