To get to Wide Receiver U, you have to come to the great city of Columbus, OH.
While the debate has been over as of recent, today cemented what university produces the best wide receivers, and it is The Ohio State University.
On Saturday, the Buckeyes faced one of the top secondaries units in the Penn State Nittany Lions, but managed to excelled in the primetime matchup. Quarterback Julian Sayin finished the day completing 20 of his 23 pass attempts for 318 yards and four touchdowns. He was hitting every single throw, and his two stars shined throughout the week 10 battle.
Today's performances between sophomore Jeremiah Smith and junior Carnell Tate is best described by the classic "Spiderman Meme", where the two characters are dressed exactly the same, pointing at each other as if to say, "Spiderman, is that you, too?"
In the case of the Buckeyes today, Smith and Tate pointed at each other saying, "Wide Receiver One, is that you, too?"
Instant Analysis: Ohio State Uses Huge Second Half to Pull Away from the Penn State Nittany Lions

Both star playmakers were incredible on Saturday.
Tate finished with five catches for 124 yards and one touchdown. He had a 45-yard touchdown catch, followed by a 57-yard bomb that set up another Buckeyes' touchdown.
Smith, on the other hand, finished with six catches for just 123 yards and two scores. Combined, the two finished with 11 catches for 247 yards and three touchdowns.
After the game, Smith told reporters that the Buckeyes possess the best wide receiving corps in the country. He isn't going to find any disagreement out of me, but I would one-up him.
Instead, it's clear that these two are receivers number one and two in America.
Tate started the season getting overlooked by Smith's stardom, but it is clear that he is absolutely on the same level. The professional comparison that the junior continues to receive is a mix between CeeDee Lamb and Devante Adams. He has the straight-line speed that Lamb has and the veteran savvy that Adams brings to the table.
He is a special talent and he is getting his flowers this season.
Smith, on the other hand, has often been compared to Julio Jones and Calvin Johnson due to his dominant personality and a game-breaking ability that both legends brought every single time that they laced their cleats.
Saturday was further proof that Tate and Smith and definitely the best receiving duo in America and are arguably the two best individual wide receivers in America.
They are incredibly fun to watch, and they have Ohio State believing that they will be hoisting that trophy once again come late January.
