Ohio State came out of the gate scorching hot in the third quarter, and KJ Hill certainly helped.
On a drive where the Buckeyes eventually took the lead 24-21, Justin Fields completed a ten-yard pass to KJ Hill. That reception gave him 192 receptions which later taken up to 193 with the go-ahead touchdown.
Hill, who has been playing since he’s a freshman, took over David Boston’s record, who played just three seasons in Columbus in the late 1990s.
While Hill has had a relatively quiet career with Ohio State, he’s slowly become one of their most consistent threats. With that catch, Hill now has five receptions for 68 yards and a touchdown on the day.
Here’s the catch that gave him the record.
With over a quarter left to play, Hill will be looking to widen his lead as Ohio State’s receptions leader. He’s one reception, which will likely come in the fourth quarter, away from three straight seasons of 50-plus receptions.
