Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith continues to etch his name in the Buckeye record books. Ohio State traveled on the road to take on No. 14 Iowa in Iowa City this week. 

Shortly before Ohio State went to the locker room, Smith tied the school's record for overall receiving touchdowns. Entering Saturday's game against the Hawkeyes, Smith needed just one more touchdown to tie the record. 

He did it late in the second quarter with a 12-yard touchdown reception to give his team a 17-6 halftime lead.
