Carnell Tate injury update: Buckeyes star receiver out vs. UCLA

COLUMBUS — Ohio State will be without one of its biggest offensive star weapons on Saturday in the game against UCLA.

Buckeyes junior receiver Carnell Tate will miss his second straight game on Saturday; he is officially out for the game against the UCLA Bruins on Saturday night.

His absence will test the depth of the Ohio State wide receiver room.

With Tate out, the Ohio State wide receiver room will need young players to step up. Look for Mylan Graham, Bryson Rodgers and freshman Quincy Porter to have a much larger role in the offense this week. Of course, junior receiver Brandon Inniss is ready for action and could see a bigger target share. So could tight end Max Klare.
