Ohio State Practice (10/30/18)


"Just a playmaker," Meyer said. "Speed. He's having a great year, and had a good game against us last year."

Meyer was asked how Spielman's skill set compared to that of Moore, who had 12 catches for 170 yards and two touchdowns in the win over Ohio State.

"I think he's very close," Meyer said. "Very talented guy."

The numbers bear that out in 2018. Moore ranks second in the Big Ten with 802 receiving yards (100.3/g) on 68 catches with seven touchdowns. Spielman ranks fourth with 686 yards (85.8/g) on 53 catches with seven touchdowns. Moore has added 163 yards rushing and a touchdown on the ground while serving as the Boilermaker's primary punt and kick returner. Spielman only has six carries in 2018, but also leads Nebraska in kick and punt returns, adding a punt-return touchdown to his total last week.

In fact the only real difference, at least from a numbers perspective, between Moore and Spielman is the offenses they play in. Moore has accounted for 32.5 percent of Purdue's receptions on the season and 30.4 percent of the receiving yards in an offense that runs it just 43.3 percent of the time. Spielman's about the same –– 31.4 percent of catches, 34.2 percent of receiving yards –– but in an offense that's 54.8-percent run.
