The arrow is pointing up heading toward Saturday's 12 noon kickoff, though.
Is Jeremiah Smith playing against Michigan?
All indications this week are that Smith will suit up against the Wolverines.
The sophomore superstar WR made a podcast appearance early in the week and said he'd be "good to go" for The Game.
Then on Wednesday, head coach Ryan Day told reporters that all of his players had been at practice.
Day's comments appeared to signal positive news for Tate and another injured player, Lorenzo Styles.

Even without Smith and Tate, Ohio State would be the favorite on paper.
But the amount of added confidence the Buckeyes will get from taking the field with their dynamic receiver duo is tough to measure. Quarterback Julian Sayin would surely be glad to have them back.
And as kickoff approaches, it sure seems like they will indeed be back.
