The Buckeyes boast three of the top receivers in the nation in Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson, all of whom present major challenges for an opposing defense, and any of whom can take over a game.But on the off chance those three are held in check, Buckeyes' running back TreVeyon Henderson can peel off big plays out of the backfield as well. The Buckeyes ranked first in both total offense ( Tyler Myers Jersey 551.4 yards per game) and scoring offense (45.5 points per game) and can make things happen in a hurry.The British are comingUtah's offense is a far more balanced one than Ohio State's, though the Utes do have a 1,000-yard rusher in Tavion Thomas, who's also found the end zone 20 times as well. But perhaps their biggest weapon is Britain Covey. He doesn't have gaudy numbers the way Olave or Wilson or Smith-Njigba do, but he's serviceable as a receiver.Where he does the most damage though is as a returner. He averages 30.4 yards per kick return and an impre sive 14.7 yards per punt return, including two that he returned for touchdowns. So while he may be held in check in the pa sing game, he Bobby Hull Jersey 's a major special teams threat and one that Utah could lean on as a way to win.Urban Meyer footprint on both programsBoth Ryan Day and Kyle Whittingham are disciples of and have worked directly under Urban Meyer. Meyer was the coach at Utah for two years while Whittingham was the defensive coordinator. Though Meyer's days with the Utes are long over, he still guided the program to two of its best seasons in history and helped shepherd quarterback Alex Smith into being the No. 1 overall pick.Day, meanwhile, served as quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator for Meyer at Ohio State, before eventually being named acting head coach in 2018 when Meyer was placed on leave.
