Episode Details

Ohio State Buckeyes' Jeremiah Smith etches his name atop the program's all-time receiving leaderboard, sparking debate about his place in NCAA football history. Could Smith join the exclusive Triple Crown club—leading the Buckeyes in receptions, yards, and touchdowns—all within just three seasons? Matt Fontana and Justin Zwick track Smith’s record-breaking pace, dissect his on-field dominance, and compare him to national greats like Corey Davis and DeVonta Smith.

The hosts break down Ohio State's 59-point rout over Kent State, spotlighting Julian Sayin’s efficient passing, key touchdowns from Bo Jackson and Chris Henry, and areas where Ryan Day’s offense can tighten up before Big Ten play. Defensive performances, upcoming coaching milestones, and recent high-profile basketball recruits under Jake Diebler also factor in. Can this Buckeyes roster maintain its sky-high standard when stiffer competition looms?
