Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith Heisman odds entering Week 10
The latest Heisman odds are out. Where is Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith after the Buckeyes' Week 9 loss at USC?
Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has now shared the top spot in Heisman Trophy odds after the Buckeyes' disappointing Week 9 loss to USC. Miami quarterback Darian Mensah has claimed the top position, tied with Smith at +150 odds to win the award. The Ohio State offense struggled during the loss, as freshman Luke Fahey made his first career start under center.
Despite this, Smith still showcased his talent, catching 10 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown, surpassing 1,000 yards for the third consecutive season and setting a Big Ten record for career receiving touchdowns. The remainder of Ohio State's schedule, including tough games against Oregon, Northwestern, Nebraska, and Michigan, could impact Smith's chances of winning the Heisman, which has not been won by an Ohio State player since Troy Smith in 2006.
Meanwhile, Miami's undefeated season continues, with Mensah leading all passers in QBR and throwing just one interception all year. The Hurricanes will miss wide receiver Malachi Toney, who suffered a high ankle sprain and will undergo surgery, potentially making Mensah the top Heisman contender.
