Jeremiah Smith had a surprisingly disappointing first half vs. Iowa, but he’s making up for it in a quick turnaround in the 2nd half.
Ohio State’s star freshman was still making plays before the break. However, the disappointment came via a lost fumble on a play that would have resulted in a big gain for the offense.
Fortunately, he’s already delivering big plays since coming out for the 2nd half. On the opening drive after the break, he connected with Will Howard for a massive pickup into the red zone.
On a 3rd-and-6, Smith was able to get behind his double team and was taken down inside the 5-yard line.

Smith would add to that on the very next play. Given a one-on-one situation on the outside, Howard put the ball where only his guy could get it on a fade route.
The electric freshman was there, keeping the defender at bay with his left hand and delivering a one-hand catch of magnificence with his right hand:

Smith now has his 6th receiving touchdown of the season and his 7th touchdown overall. He has scored in all 5 games to start the season, and he’s on a record-setting pace with the Buckeyes.
