Game #8 | #3 Ohio State @ Wisconsin | Oct 28th 2023 @ 7:30PM

[Ohio]

This is the best Henderson has ever looked to me. He even ran through some arm tackles. It's the first time he looked better than Dallan Hayden. Hopefully he can continue that. They're going to need it.

Yeah, I'd have to go back to his Freshman season but this was very clearly his best game in quite awhile, if not his best ever.

As you mentioned, he even broke tackles tonight.

If this is the Henderson we're getting moving forward, it takes this offense to a whole other dimension.

I've been thinking about the best college WRs I've ever seen, and who makes that list along with Harrison.

This isn't a list of pro-prospects. So Calvin Johnson, as insanely gifted as he was, isn't making the list. He played on the wrong team in college that never, ever threw the ball.

Julio Jones isn't either, for the same reasons, although not as extreme.

And I'm gonna be a little biased against the LSU boys because they had elite QB play AND each other to play off of in Chase and Jefferson. I also didn't watch them very much, tbh.

I didn't watch Davante Adams play either.


All of that out of the way, there's only two guys I'd put ahead of Harrison.

One is Larry Fitzgerald. Just surrounded by absolutely poor to mediocre talent both years and still was totally unstoppable all the time. I'd make time to watch Pitt play when he was in college.


The second one is probably the best college football player I've ever watched. I grew up in South Eastern Ohio on the Ohio river, right across from Huntington WV during the Randy Moss years. It truly looked like a man playing against boys. He was a total phenom.

And then it's Harrison.

You didn't think Chris Carter stood out his performances? Just his hands alone... the snags he made on the sidelines... pretty f'in good.

I wasn't alive when Cris Carter played in college.

I wasn't alive when Cris Carter played in college.

Cliff note: He was really good, with not so good QBs. (Mike Tomczak, and Jim Karsatos)

 

[Ohio]

Think you'd have to include Devonta Smith in that group. Sure he was on a great team with a great QB, but he was the runaway Heisman trophy winner, at the position for the first time in decades.

 

[Real Deal]

8-5 here we come

I thought that about Terry Glenn: he was unreal but then OSU played Michigan who had relatively little known freshman from Ohio named Charles Woodson at CB lol.

It's hard sometime watching TV to see how much a receiver can have on the game when he's not being targeted by the QB: guys like Moss so much attention that defense tilts to them making it easier for everyone else. There's also blocking and the like. All you need is watch that Georgia game last year to see what impact Harrison has. The dude gets concussed and the game completely changed against a defense that numerous NFL draft picks.

Consider he also blocks and I would be shocked if Harrison isn't special in the NFL

Michael Crabtree was pretty sensational in college if we are tossing out names. Mike Williams was a beast at USC in his short time too.

They need Henderson to play like he did today and take some pressure off of the passing game. It's amazing that Marvin is still tossing up the numbers he is with McCord seemingly not improving at all. Defenses pretty much know he is the offense and he's still feasting.

Hopefully, Egbuka coming back next week will get things jumpstarted. Strange that Stover had zero targets tonight. Thought he would play a pretty big role.

It's a shame the defense showed up right after Stroud left. With Stroud, this squad may have beat everybody in the country by 2 or 3 scores.

Henderson seemed to grimace a bit at the end of the night on the sidelines. Hopefully he still comes out next games with the same FU fire..

Great job tonight by Henderson and the entire time. I don't care what anyone says, a win against Penn state followed by a night win at camp Randall is a great accomplishment. Go Bucks.
