Former Ohio State football great, Cris Carter is one of the greatest wide receivers to ever play the game of football at either the college or NFL level, and freshman phenom, Jeremiah Smith, may eclipse Carter’s statistical accomplishments at the collegiate level.
The OSU freshman record for touchdowns still sits at eight and is still held by Carter due to his 1984 season, but in two games, Smith is already well on pace to crush that number. Through two games, the young star already has three touchdowns which is already tied with Marvin Harrison Jr. at fifth in school history.
Carter is not the kind of guy who wishes to keep the record though and in fact is praying Smith can “smash” the record, but he did provide a nice reminder that the Buckeye offense in 1984 was not as focused on the passing game as they are today.
After 40 years of holding the record, I pray he smashes all my records: just I lil reminder, my Buckeyes ran the football 45-50 times a game . https://t.co/ywrQntcXO9
