Ohio State Receives Low Team Grade Despite Jeremiah Smith Record Game

Jeremiah Smith delivered a historic performance to start Big Ten play, catching twelve passes for two hundred seventeen yards and four touchdowns to lead the Ohio State Buckeyes to a forty-two to nineteen victory over the Illinois Fighting Illini in Columbus. Quarterback Julian Sayin repeatedly targeted the star wideout, who tied the school record for receiving scores in a single contest.

Despite the offensive explosion and the comfortable margin of victory, analyst David Cobb assigned the squad a lackluster C-plus grade. The defense surrendered four hundred sixty-two total yards, forcing head coach Ryan Day to address defensive lapses before an upcoming road game against the fourteenth-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes.
