Skull Session: Dwayne Haskins lit up the Terrapins four years ago, no Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been no problem for Ohio State and Carlos Hyde was a monster in 2013.
So Yarina's claim is valid. El Guapo was a bucket and a problem, and we don't talk about that enough, even here in Buckeye Nation.
Defenses had no answer for the 6-foot, 236-pound force of nature coming out of the Ohio State backfield. And had he not beenof the season, Hyde could have torn up Buffalo, San Diego State and California – opponents the Buckeyes outscored 134-61 – and added even more yardage and touchdowns to his season totals.
But, in all reality, he's probably not too worried about what he could have added with those three weeks. What he produced in 11 games was enough to get him drafted No. 57 overall in the 2014 NFL draft by the 49ers. He played eight NFL seasons for San Francisco, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Houston and Seattle, so it all worked out in the end.Nobody was expecting Jaxon Smith-Njigba to go down against Notre Dame in Week 1. Not Smith-Njigba, not Day – nobody.
At his Tuesday press conference, Day said he's been proud of how Ohio State's receivers have stepped up in Smith-Njigba's absence, claiming it's been a great season to catch passes for the Buckeyes.
