  "account": "1) Ohio State's special teams continue to struggle under new coordinator Robby Discher. The team ranks poorly in several key categories, including net punting, kick return yardage, and punt return yardage. Despite hiring Discher, Ohio State has not shown any improvement in their special teams, suggesting the issue may lie beyond just the coordinator.\n\n2) Quarterback Julian Sayin has had a strong season thus far, and Buckeyes' head coach Ryan Day praised Smith's ability to make plays in traffic. Sayin has completed 72.5% of his passes and thrown for more than 1,500 yards and 13 touchdowns, but the coach is concerned about his tendency to take risks on one-on-one throws. The coach needs to find a better balance between targeting Smith and utilizing other open receivers.\n\n3) Running back Jeremiah Smith has had limited playing time this season, playing a total of 14 snaps. The team's decision to protect him may have contributed to his limited opportunities, but his talent cannot be denied. Smith has scored a touchdown this season and could become the Big Ten's all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards if he continues his current performance. Ohio State has issues with snap counts for talented players, but Smith's ability should not be overlooked.",
