Overview

  • In the 31–14 victory at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday, Smith caught 11 passes for 206 yards and two touchdowns to fuel No. 5 Ohio State’s road win over No. 14 Iowa.
  • Smith’s second TD in that game gave him 36 career receiving touchdowns, moving him past Chris Olave’s previous Ohio State record of 35.
  • A later catch in the third quarter was Smith’s 206th career reception, surpassing Emeka Egbuka’s school mark and extending his career receiving yards to 3,381.
  • Those milestones follow a torrent of recent production that included a 12-catch, 217-yard, four-touchdown game vs. Illinois and an earlier career receiving-yards record.
  • Public endorsements and a Heisman-pose celebration have amplified his candidacy for major awards and sharpened NFL evaluators’ interest as he continues his junior season.
