COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State's high-powered offense may be dealt a significant blow ahead of its final home game of the regular season against Rutgers. Two of the team's star receivers, Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, are uncertain to play due to injuries. While Coach Ryan Day declined to disclose specific details about their condition, he did confirm that they are being evaluated on a daily basis by the medical staff. Smith, who leads the Big Ten in touchdown catches and ranks second in catches per game, was seen limping during the team's game against UCLA last weekend. Tate, meanwhile, has been out for the past two games with an undisclosed injury. Day emphasized the importance of not discussing specific injuries, citing concerns that it could create unnecessary distractions for the team. Instead, he opted to focus on the Buckeyes' preparation for the game against Rutgers, which will be a challenging test for the team. The Scarlet Knights are looking to beat Ohio State for the first time in their 11th try since joining the Big Ten in 2014. After the game, the Buckeyes will head to Ann Arbor to face their arch-rivals, the 18th-ranked Michigan Wolverines, who have won the last four games in the series. Despite the uncertainty surrounding their receivers, Ohio State remains a formidable team, and Coach Day is confident that his players will be focused on the task at hand. 'We'll take it day by day and see how they come in each day,' he said. 'The medical staff is working hard to get them back on the field, and we're optimistic about their chances of playing.'
