Marvin Harrison Jrās ascent to greatness has been a welcome surprise for the Ohio State football fanbase. The wide receiver has filled in nicely for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, helping the Buckeyes offense stay potent despite the latterās absence. Unfortunately, Harrison Jr. lost out on the Biletnikoff award to another monster WR in Tennesseeās Jalin Hyatt.
This snub may have just awoken a beast inside Ohio Stateās football facilities. Shortly after the announcement of Jalin Hyattās Biletnikoff win, Marvin Harrison Jr. was filmed by his brother to be practicing in the facility. It seems like the loss has motivated the Buckeyes WR more to be be better.

The debate between Harrison Jr and Hyatt is hotly contested, with either side not willing to concede. Harrison Jrās case involves Ohio Stateās success on the football field, as they posted a stellar record even without Smith-Njigba. Hyatt, on the other hand, had the edge in statistical production.
In the end, though, you could argue that Marvin Harrison Jr had the last laugh. Ohio State is going to the College Football Playoff to face the top-ranked Georgia team. Tennessee, meanwhile, missed out on the playoffs after droppingĀ to 1o-2 this season. The Buckeyes have a chance of reclaiming the championship once again.
Both teams will be playing on New Yearās Six as part of the collection of Bowl Games for the season. As mentioned, Ohio State and Georgia will battle in the Peach Bowl as part of the College Football Playoff. Tennessee, meanwhile, will face Clemson in the Orange Bowl.
