Smith etched his name in the Big Ten record book again in the first half, when he broke the Big Ten career receiving yards record.

Smith finished off his 11-catch, 117-yard day with a touchdown catch in the fourth quarter from Luke Fahey.

The potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL draft also marveled fans with incredible control on a third-quarter reception.

Smith's 100-yard performance put him within one more 100-yard game of yet another Big Ten receiving record.

Of course, with the impressive statistics came a wave of support for Smith to win the Heisman Trophy.

Smith has two more opportunities to impress Heisman voters in the regular season. The 7-3 Buckeyes visit the Nebraska Cornhuskers next week and then they come back home to host the Michigan Wolverines in one of the sport's biggest rivalry games.
