Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith showcased his talent in a dominating 38-7 victory over Michigan State on Saturday night. Smith, a freshman phenom, had a 19-yard touchdown run and made a spectacular one-handed catch for another score in the second quarter, proving to be a game-changer for the Buckeyes.

The Spartans struggled to capitalize on opportunities, losing the football three times in the red zone during the first half, which hindered their ability to stay competitive in the game.

Smith, a top recruit from Miami Gardens, Florida, demonstrated his prowess with five receptions for 83 yards, including two touchdown catches. His performance solidified his reputation as a standout player for Ohio State.

Quarterback Will Howard also played a crucial role for the Buckeyes, completing 21 of 31 passes for 244 yards and throwing two touchdown passes. Despite facing some challenges, including an interception, Howard effectively led the team to victory.

Ohio State’s receiving duo of Smith and senior standout Emeka Egbuka proved to be a formidable force on the field, with Egbuka adding seven catches for 96 yards and a touchdown to the team’s impressive performance.

Michigan State, led by first-year coach Jonathan Smith, struggled with turnovers throughout the game, adding to their challenges against the powerhouse Buckeyes.

With this win, Ohio State looks poised to maintain their ranking as one of the top teams in college football, potentially holding onto the No. 3 spot in the AP Top 25 rankings for another week.

Looking ahead, Ohio State is set to face Iowa next week, while Michigan State will take on No. 8 Oregon in their upcoming matchup.
