I would imagine that priority was given to the departing senior WRs since it was their last game. Olave did play...

What happened to my ¤cash?
Yes. He lined up out wide right in front of me, I think in the 3rd. Didn’t see any time he was targeted.
I suspect that much of the night was going to be devoted to the outgoing WRs.
He bit as a pup. He’ll have his shots.

I figured that deference to the seniors might have played a role. That doesn't mean he couldn't have been worked into the game plan. If you trusted him in the Michigan game and it paid off then I think he earned some opportunities. He was back in his home State. I'd expect him to play really well.
I guess this was the must-win of all must-win games so they didn't want to take any risk of a freshman mistake.

The deference to Seniors is part of Urbans evolution. In 06 it was all about production ..no loyalt. Aaron Hernandez would never been part of Urbans Buckeyes..he changed.

Not really. 06 was his second year at UF and he landed a massive recruiting class with a bunch of difference-makers so he played them. No different than his 2014 team. The only difference is Meyer placed a much greater priority on character than he did at UF

OLAVE PUTTING IN WORK. Justin Fields ain't the only one putting in some offseason work with a private trainer. One of his young receivers is out there getting better, too.
It's crazy how quickly wide receiver has turned into a position of strength both now and in the future. And that future's only getting brighter (more specifically, it's going to get a hell of a lot brighter in two days)....

Six for Saturday: Buckeyes Primed For Stardom In 2019
Last year, the Buckeyes had a star emerge at quarterback as Dwayne Haskins set all kinds of Ohio State passing records. The year before, it was freshman running back JK Dobbins.
In 2016, you saw Malik Hooker, Curtis Samuel, Marshon Lattimore, Nick Bosa and I can’t even remember who else become stars.
It happens every year. New stars take over and become household names in the college football world.
This year will be no different. There is no shortage of possible new stars for Ohio State in 2019, but for our purposes we’ll keep it to just six or so names.
Chris Olave – Wide Receiver, Soph.
Last year was only scratching the surface for Chris Olave. As a true freshman in 2018, Olave impressed in camp and practice, but didn’t start getting involved in the on-field offense until Austin Mack went down. He was put into the rotation at that point and is now an experienced receiver who is no longer getting his footing. Late in the season, Olave showed glimpses of what he can do, but this season we will begin to see the entire picture.

All of these kids mentioned in the article are the main reason I'm starting to get excited about 2019. Between the players and the coaching staff, there's every potential for a new golden age in the Horseshoe. GO BUCKS!!!

2019 SEASON PREVIEW: 10 PLAYERS POISED FOR BREAKOUT SEASONS INCLUDING JUSTIN FIELDS, GARRETT WILSON AND TYREKE SMITH

Ohio State is loaded with talent once again this season, but much of it is unproven.
The Buckeyes signed their two highest-rated recruiting classes of the modern era in 2017 and 2018, and with those players entering their second and third seasons respectively, it’s their time to make an impact – in many cases, for the first time.
Here are 10 players who will be stepping into larger roles with the team and seem poised for breakout seasons in 2019.
CHRIS OLAVE – WIDE RECEIVER – SOPHOMORE
After emerging late in the 2018 season, Chris Olave is poised for a big year in 2019.
As a true freshman, Olave was crucial against both Michigan and Northwestern, scoring two touchdowns on two catches in The Game and pulling down five catches for 79 yards against the Wildcats in the Big Ten Championship game.
With Johnnie Dixon and Terry McLaurin gone, there will be more available reps for Olave at the Z receiver spot, and he's expected to make the most of them.

Chris Olave’s odd path to Ohio State won’t keep him from being the next great Buckeyes receiver
By Ari Wasserman 7h ago
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Chris Hauser doesn’t remember all the individual conversations; he just knows there were a lot of them. One of them was with the former UCLA staff, before Chip Kelly took over. He often pleaded with coaches from west coast Power 5 schools to take a real, honest look at his skinny wide receiver and offer a scholarship. Hauser, the coach at San Marcos (Calif.) Mission Hills, knew how it would turn out.
Chris Olave was a risk. There was no game tape from his junior season because he was ruled ineligible as a result of a high school transfer rule, so that stifled the momentum of his recruitment because all coaches had was Hauser’s word.
Hauser’s word was good enough for only Washington State because he has a close relationship with then-Cougars defensive coordinator Alex Grinch. It’s an “I trust you” relationship.” If other Pac-12 schools would have taken Hauser’s word, too, maybe Olave, the next great Ohio State receiver, wouldn’t be a Buckeye right now.
“You never know how things turn out when you try to go back in time and change history,” Hauser said, “but my gut feeling is that Chris would be somewhere on the west coast right now.”
Had USC offered Olave as a junior or early in his senior season, maybe things would be different. Same with UCLA or Washington or maybe even Arizona State. Late in Olave’s recruitment, he told The Athletic that he was leaning toward Washington State because it had faith in him from the beginning. “There was a time where I thought I’d be on the west coast,” Olave said again Wednesday.
How it all turned out makes sense. That true freshman receiver who caught two touchdowns and blocked a punt in his first Michigan game is a prospect from California? Not shocking. The majority of Ohio State’s roster is made up by national recruits. But in Olave’s case, Ohio State recruited him like he was an under-the-radar kid from Ohio the Buckeyes had to take a chance on.
In reality, this former three-star prospect is a Buckeye because of circumstance, some trust and elite talent evaluation from Ryan Day, Grinch – who since has left for Oklahoma – and the rest of Ohio State’s coaching staff. By now, you’ve probably heard how Day was at Mission Hills recruiting quarterback Jack Tuttle, saw Olave working out and immediately fell in love with him by chance. But that opening for Ohio State was there because in-state programs – the same ones who could use rising-star wide receiver – didn’t act early enough.
