Jeremiah Smith absolutely shattered the Ohio State Buckeyes’ all-time receiving yards record in Week 3, hauling in five catches for 85 yards against the Kent State Golden Flashes. Sayin and Smith and the entire Ohio State squad just absolutely throttled Kent State, wrapping up the game by halftime.
Buckeyes Offense Goes Wild as Sayin Distributes
Julian Sayin was on fire, throwing for a pair of touchdowns and zero interceptions on an 18-for-22 passing day, racking up 241 yards through the air. He spread the ball around like crazy, hitting seven different receivers during his time on the field. Sayin threw touchdown passes to Brandon Inniss and Nate Roberts, including one right on the final play of the first half. The Buckeyes were running wild too, with Bo Jackson, Ja’Kobi Jackson, and Isaiah West combining for four rushing scores. Sayin actually got pulled from the game in the third quarter with Ohio State up by a massive 42 points. Talk about a statement win!
Smith’s Historic Day and the Road Ahead
Smith might not have found the end zone in Week 3, unlike in the first two weeks of the regular season, but his record-breaking 85-yard performance on five catches means he’s now sitting at a ridiculous 400 receiving yards through just three games this season. He was averaging 17 yards per catch, which is just insane. The kid is a monster, plain and simple.
Now, things are about to get real for Ohio State. They kick off Big Ten play next week against Illinois, and after that, it’s a gauntlet with Indiana, USC, Oregon, and Michigan all on the schedule. You know Sayin and Smith are gonna be leaned on *hard* to navigate that conference workload. If Week 3 is any indication, these guys are ready to make some noise.
