Jeremiah Smith Says He’s ‘Good to Go’ for No. 1 Ohio State’s Trip to Michigan

Michigan needs a win to keep its Big Ten title route viable as it faces an unbeaten, defense-first Ohio State.

Overview

  • Ohio State star receiver Jeremiah Smith, who missed the Rutgers game, said on the Downs 2 Business podcast he expects to play Saturday, while coach Ryan Day still lists Smith and fellow WR Carnell Tate as day-to-day.
  • Michigan issued mixed injury updates: Max Bredeson’s X-rays “didn’t look great” per Sherrone Moore, linebacker Ernest Hausmann is day-to-day, and Semaj Morgan and Jordan Marshall are expected to be available.
  • An insider report indicated safety Rod Moore is likely out for the season, reinforcing Michigan’s depth concerns as it tries to extend a four-game win streak in the rivalry.
  • The stakes are decisive: Michigan must win to keep its Big Ten title-game path and playoff bid alive, while Ohio State can preserve its unbeaten season and secure its route to Indianapolis.
  • Ohio State enters with the nation’s top defense by yards and points allowed, and Moore urged a raucous Big House environment while stressing a respectful postgame, with kickoff set for noon ET on FOX.
