  "account": "In the Big Ten opener, No. 7 Ohio State demonstrated an explosive performance against Illinois, scoring two touchdowns on their first two possessions. The second touchdown was scored by receiver Jeremiah Smith with a remarkable 72-yard bomb from quarterback Julian Sayin. This tremendous play showcased Smith's exceptional ability to make difficult catches, as he spun Illinois defensive back Mac Resetich around, leaving him helpless. Smith, who previously scored a touchdown against Kent State, came into the game with 21 receptions for 400 yards and 4 catches for 123 yards against Illinois. As the Buckeyes' first series concluded with a 7-yard touchdown catch from Sayin, junior sensation Jeremiah Smith has already accumulated 5 touchdowns for the season. The story will be updated with further details.",
  "summary": "Smith came into Saturday’s matchup with 21 receptions for 400 yards and 3 touchdowns.",
