Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith had six catches for 123 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-14 win over Penn State on Nov. 1.

His day included a 14-yard score in which he split two defenders, as well as a 57-yard catch. Perhaps his most memorable moment, though, came on a first-and-10 play from Penn State’s 11-yard line with 10:39 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Julian Sayin received the snap while in shotgun, faked a handoff to running back Bo Jackson, and then fired the ball over the middle.

Penn State senior safety Zakee Wheatley batted the ball up into the air. Smith adjusted his route, leaped into the air and contorted his body to pull in the deflection. Once he landed, he turned upfield and made the short waltz into the end zone.

“See ball, get ball,” Smith said of the circus-like catch.

Smith also joked that he wanted to catch the ball so that Sayin was sure to grade out a champion, which is how OSU assesses a winning performance. Sayin was 20-for-23 passing with 316 yards and four touchdowns, so that wasn’t very much in doubt.

On the season, Smith has nine touchdowns. The sophomore has 24 touchdown catches in his career. None resembles this one.
