Ohio State Buckeyes
· 2026-07-03
Ohio State Buckeyes were mistakenly linked to Michigan wide receiver Anthony Carter by ESPN.
The error occurred in an article ranking the best college football players of all time by jersey number.
ESPN named Larry Fitzgerald the greatest player ever to wear No. 1 and listed three finalists, including Anthony Carter as an Ohio State wide receiver.
But Anthony Carter played for Michigan from 1979-82, becoming a three-time All-American with 141 catches for 2,681 yards and 34 total touchdowns in 44 games.
The mistake is significant because it highlights the need for accuracy in sports reporting, especially when it comes to rival teams like Michigan and Ohio State Buckeyes.
The error may have been due to confusion with legendary Ohio State wide receiver Cris Carter.
Ohio State Buckeyes will face Ball State Cardinals on 2026-09-05, and fans are eager to see how the team will perform.
The Buckeyes had eight players named as the greatest ever to wear their respective jersey numbers, including running back Eddie George and linebacker Chris Spielman.
And the team is looking to build on their past successes, with a strong roster and experienced coaches.
But for now, fans are just shaking their heads at the ESPN mistake, which has been corrected.
So the focus is back on the upcoming game, and Ohio State Buckeyes are ready to take on the challenge.
The team's performance will be closely watched, and fans are expecting a strong showing.
