Stop overthinking it: Jeremiah Smith is the Heisman Trophy favorite

Following another stellar performance against Iowa on Saturday, Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has firmly positioned himself as the frontrunner for college football's top individual honor. During the team's 31-14 victory, Smith dismantled a formidable opposing defense by hauling in 11 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns, marking his second consecutive game reaching the 200-yard threshold.

Despite heavy defensive attention that included bracket schemes, double teams, and occasional triple coverage, the standout receiver repeatedly generated explosive plays, highlighted by a game-clinching 57-yard touchdown. His consistent dominance has drawn high praise from opposing leadership, with Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz comparing his generational impact to standout talents like Randy Moss and Saquon Barkley.
