Jeremiah Smith Shines Early | Ohio State Buckeyes Football News

Jeremiah Smith is already looking like the best player in college football, exploding for 151 yards and two TDs—including a jaw-dropping one-handed catch—in just the first half. Julian Sayin added his own flair with his first career touchdown run, while transfer Devin McCuin made waves with six catches and a score. On defense, young talents like Jay Timmons and Khary Wilder flashed promise, and linebackers TJ Alford and Riley Pettijohn stepped up. But there were hiccups: the run game sputtered early, defense struggled with missed tackles, and special teams had shaky moments—especially from freshman Legend Bey on returns and a punting unit that’s still finding its range. Still, it was a statement win for Ohio State, showcasing star power and depth—even if they know there’s work to do before the next big test.
