Ohio State Buckeyes achieved a great victory against Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday. It was a huge win that put the team in great position to make the College Football Playoff.

After a lot of outside noise and pressure, Ohio State got the statement win it needed.

During the game against Penn State, a Buckeyes star made history.

Jeremiah Smith, the team’s star freshman receiver, set a major record. He currently holds the record for most receiving yards ever by a freshman.

It was noted that the record was broken Stephen Means of Cleveland.com.

“In doing so, he broke the school record for most receiving yards ever by a freshman, surpassing Cris Carter’s 648 yards in 1984.”

Entering the season, Smith was expected to be a major impact player for Ohio State. What he was able to do exceeded expectations. He became a true superstar from day one.

So far this season, Smith has caught 39 passes for 678 yards and eight touchdowns. He has been an exciting quarterback every week.

For the Buckeyes to realize his full potential and become a national title contender, they will need Smith to continue playing at this level. He should be able to make a big impact and be a key offensive playmaker against the elite teams in the country.

Notably against the Nittany Lions, Smith caught four passes for 55 yards. It wasn’t his greatest play, but it still made an impact. Hopefully he can continue to take his game to another level throughout the regular season and into the playoffs.

Needless to say, Smith has a chance to be the all-time great in school history. He might be the best wide receiver the school has ever seen.

For now, he can just celebrate breaking the legendary Cris Carter’s old record. This achievement is certainly impressive.
