Jeremiah Smith ties Ohio State record with 4 TD catches as No. 7 Buckeyes beat Illinois 42-19
Columbus, Ohio (AP) — Jeremiah Smith set an Ohio State record with four touchdown catches and a career-high 12 receptions for 217 yards as the seventh-ranked Buckeyes defeated Illinois 42-19 on Saturday. This marked the 23rd instance since 2000 of an FBS player achieving double-digit receptions and at least four scores in a single game.
The last player to accomplish this feat was Western Michigan's Sky Moore against Northern Illinois in 2021. Smith achieved this milestone in the fourth quarter when he caught a 26-yard touchdown to extend Ohio State's lead to 35-13.
