CHICAGO (AP) — Carnell Tate looked into the stands at Wrigley Field and saw a large group of family members and friends. His father. His grandmother. His sister.
A memorable moment in the middle of an emotional day.
Tate celebrated his Chicago homecoming with two touchdown receptions during No. 2 Ohio State's 31-7 victory over Northwestern on Saturday. The 6-foot-3 sophomore finished with four catches for 52 yards in the Buckeyes' fourth consecutive victory.
It was Tate’s first game in his hometown since his mother, Ashley Griggs, 40, was killed in a drive-by shooting in Chicago in July 2023.
