Jeremiah Smith can make plays in double coverage. He can also makes plays with a single hand.

The All-American wide receiver has proven that time and time again during his first two seasons at Ohio State. He did so again Saturday during the fourth quarter of the No. 1 Buckeyes' 38-14 win over Penn State.

Quarterback Julian Sayin clocked out with four touchdowns and only three incompletions. Smith helped make that impressive stat possible. When Sayin's red-zone pass was deflected with less than 10 minutes to play, Smith elevated and raised his arms as if he was going for a morning stretch, only 10 times faster. 

While in the air, he clawed the ball with his right hand, right in front of Penn State cornerback Elliot Washington II. Then, after landing gracefully on the doorstep of the goal line, he trudged by Washington to complete an 11-yard touchdown.

Smith's touchdown wowed everyone in Ohio Stadium and fans across the country. That includes LeBron James, who posted on X for the first time since promoting his Halloween-themed children's book just to react to Smith's one-handed snag.

The highlight-reel play punctuated Smith's prolific performance that went to the tune of 6 receptions, 123 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns.

Smith's first scoring play arrived on Ohio State's first drive, as he pulled in a 14-yard dart from Sayin on an RPO play that got a Penn State safety to bite.

His second touchdown, however, was more memorable.

While Sayin's Heisman campaign lifted off against the Nittany Lions, Smith's been in the conversation for college football's most prestigious award for a while now.

He's piled up 55 catches, 725 receiving yards and 10 total touchdowns through eight games.

Teams have thrown the kitchen sink at Smith this season.

He's still making an impact — sometimes with only one hand.
