Ohio State wideout sets Big Ten receiving record in win
Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith continues to set receiving records.
Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State's wide receiver, achieved a significant milestone in big 10 football history as the team secured a 28-19 victory against Northwestern on Saturday. Smith contributed 11 receptions for 117 yards in the win, surpassing Purdue's John Standeford's previous Big Ten record of 3,788 receiving yards. Smith now holds Ohio State's career records for receptions (243), receiving yards (3,875), and touchdown catches (42).
Smith's performance came after Isaiah West's 4-yard touchdown catch put the Buckeyes ahead 7-3 early in the second quarter, and Bo Jackson's 2-yard touchdown run extended the lead to 14-6 at halftime. Luke Fahey's 8-yard touchdown pass to Devin McCuin further solidified Ohio State's advantage to 21-13, while Smith's final touchdown catch with 6:33 remaining sealed the win. Ohio State will face Nebraska on November 21 in Lincoln, Nebraska.
