  "account": "On Saturday, Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith put on an impressive performance against Illinois, becoming the first receiver in Buckeyes' history to have at least 10 receptions for 200 yards and score four touchdowns. The junior finished with 12 catches for 217 yards and four TDs, tying a school record. Smith's four-touchdown day showcased his versatility, as he made spectacular catches, won on a fade, executed a home run post, and displayed his big-play capability with a 72-yard touchdown. Coach Ryan Day praised Smith's improvement over the years, noting his route-running and yards after the catch have both enhanced his game. Illinois coach Bret Bielema commended Smith's dominance and physicality, highlighting his ability to continue playing big even after being named one of the nation's top receivers.",
