Ohio State HC Ryan Day drops bar on only time Jeremiah Smith is actually covered

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day recently provided a colorful assessment of star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, suggesting the freshman is effectively open unless facing three defenders at once. Smith currently leads the nation with 44 receptions and 823 receiving yards, while sharing the top spot with nine touchdown catches.

His recent performance against Iowa included 11 receptions for 209 yards and two scores. Quarterback Julian Sayin has actively targeted Smith throughout the season, fueling the receiver's position as a top contender for the Heisman Trophy.

While Miami's Malachi Toney remains a competitor for the award, Smith's consistent production keeps him at the forefront of the national conversation.
