Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith has added yet another record to his personal achievements. He began the day just behind former Purdue wide receiver John Standeford, but after a 22-yard reception in the first quarter, he took over the all-time receiving yards record in the Big Ten.
Standeford's record had stood since 2003, with a total of 3,788 receiving yards, but Smith took that over and will still be working on putting more distance between himself and second place not only against Northwestern, but as the rest of the season wears on. As a reminder, Smith has put up all of these figures in less than three years, with still two full games and the rest of the Northwestern one to go.
In addition to being the all-time receiving yards leader in the Big
Ten, Smith also holds the all-time Big Ten touchdowns record and is the all-time leader at Ohio State in receiving yards, receptions, and touchdowns. What a career, and it's not quite done.
