The Ohio State Buckeyes scored on their opening drive of the College Football Playoff championship as Will Howard hit Jeremiah Smith on a creative play that allowed him to basically walk into the end zone. It was the exact opposite of what Riley Leonard had just gone through.
Many fans were shocked to see how easily Smith was able to score considering how much attention Notre Dame probably intended to pay the true freshman wide receiver who had seven catches for 187 yards and two touchdowns against Oregon in the Rose Bowl.
