Jeremiah Smith felt bad for Illinois DB he put in a spin cycle: 'I just started laughing'

Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith delivered a historic performance in a 42-19 victory over Illinois, catching 12 passes for 217 yards and four touchdowns to tie a school single-game record. His second score came on a 72-yard bomb from Julian Sayin, during which Smith left defender Mac Resetich grasping at air with a series of sharp cuts before waltzing into the end zone.

Reflecting on the dazzling sequence after the final whistle, Smith admitted with a smile that he could not help laughing at how badly he had turned the cornerback around. Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day praised the standout junior for elevating his play to an entirely new level, noting that finding a comparable talent anywhere else in the nation would be nearly impossible.
