All over the field will be draft talent going head-to-head in this battle of Big 10 juggernauts. There will be some tremendous wide receiver talent on display in this game. It will be fascinating to see if Harris, Ferrell, and Zachman can limit Smith and the Buckeyes' receivers. The Ohio State defensive backs will be challenged by two potential first-round talents in Becker and Marsh.

    • OT Xavier Chaplin, No. 77

    • DT Ahmad Moten Sr., No. 5

    The Matchups:

    This rivalry game will feature a good draft matchup with Wilson going against Chaplin. Chaplin really needs good performances against future pro rushers, and Wilson will be a tough test.
