  "account": "In a recent game against Iowa, Ohio State's wide receiver Jeremiah Smith found himself on the verge of breaking a major Big Ten record. Following a victory over the No. 14 team, Smith added two touchdowns to his already impressive collection of 36 career receptions. This pushes him closer to matching the Big Ten record held by Michigan's Braylon Edwards, who amassed 39 touchdown receptions during his time at Michigan in the early 2000s. To tie Edwards' record, Smith will need to score three more touchdowns in Ohio State's remaining seven games. The Buckeyes will face Maryland in a home game on October 10, followed by an important matchup against Indiana on October 17. With Smith's current performance and the team's momentum, it's possible he could tie the record within these next two games.",
