  "account": "Wide receiver Jeremiah Smith of Ohio State set a new Big Ten record for touchdown receptions with 40 in his career on Saturday night. Ohio State's offense struggled in their 30-18 loss to USC due to quarterback Julian Sayin being sidelined with a right throwing-arm and shoulder injury. Luke Fahey stepped in, completing 21 of 38 passes for 260 yards and one touchdown, with Smith being his top target. Smith finished with 10 receptions for 83 yards and a score. Michigan's Braylon Edwards previously held the Big Ten's all-time record with 39 touchdown receptions. Ohio State's coach Ryan Day praised Smith's ability to make contested catches and his value to the team. The Buckeyes still have four games left in the regular season, which could impact their chances of making the College Football Playoff.",
