Wow! Jeremiah Smith might be even better than we thought. The freshman phenom has been spectacular through three games this season, but he may have just outdone himself. With Michigan State keeping things close, Smith has decided to take things into his own hands… make that take things into his own hand.
With under a minute left in the half, Smith made not one, but two one-handed catches leading to an Ohio State score! The first came with two Spartan defenders draped on Smith, who just seemed to elevate higher and pulled the catch down with one hand.
JEREMIAH SMITH ARE YOU KIDDING?! 🤯

If that wasn’t enough, Smith made another unbelievable catch just moments later. With Will Howard sidelined after a hard hit, Devon Brown took the helm on third and ten. Brown dropped back and threw the ball in Smith’s direction and looked as if it was going to be out of reach until No. 4 stretched out his right hand and hauled in another one-handed catch, this time for the touchdown.
