He will need to be a consistent threat in the passing game, making sure he is open when Fields needs him to be. He will also need to be a reliable blocker in the run game, helping to open up holes for Dobbins and the rest of the Buckeye backfield.
Harrison Jr. is no stranger to big games, having had a standout performance against Penn State earlier this season, hauling in five receptions for 73 yards and two touchdowns. He will need to replicate that performance against Michigan if Ohio State is to come out victorious.
The Buckeyes are counting on Harrison Jr. to deliver a standout performance in The Game, and he will need to rise to the occasion if Ohio State is to come out victorious. His performance will be key in determining the outcome of the game, and it will be up to him to make sure that he is ready when his number is called.
