Jeremiah Smith Shatters Ohio State Record – Can Anyone Stop His Historic TD Streak?
Smith caught 6 passes for 111 yards in the opening 30 minutes, and the last of those receptions was a 12-yard TD catch with 12 seconds remaining in the half. That play gave Ohio State a 17-6 and it withstood a review to determine if Smith had actually reached the end zone.

The touchdown was the 35th of his career for the Buckeyes and it allowed him to tie Chris Olave for the most TD receptions in Ohio State history. Olave is now a star receiver for the New Orleans Saints after a memorable career at Ohio State.
