The Heisman campaign is now in full swing. Jeremiah Smith has been the best player in college football for some time now, and this year, he has a real chance to earn the hardware that backs those claims. Ohio State has been softly promoting Smith as the clear-cut choice, but the Athletic Department has shifted into high gear with just three guaranteed games before voters make their choice. A series of short highlight videos has been released, as well as a dedicated webpage that spotlights Smith's statistics and records.
JJFORITALL.com is the place to go for real-time tracking of Smith's stats as well as where the Buckeye All-American stands as he chases conference records. It is also the place OSU is promoting Smith for the Heisman. He has already
broken the Big Ten record for most touchdown receptions in a career, and he is just 31 receiving yards from passing Purdue's John Standeford for the all-time leader in that category. Unless Smith decides to come back for a fourth year, he won't have enough time to reach the career reception record, which stands at 325 by Purdue's Taylor Stubblefield.
Regardless, barring any unforeseen missed time on the field, Smith has not only put up Heisman-worthy numbers, but the way he has done it has been incredibly impressive.

The OSU offense has looked anemic after the loss of Julian Sayin earlier this year. Smith continues to put up numbers, but the question remains: will voters knock him down a few spots because the Buckeyes are no longer considered National Championship contenders? Hopefully they are smart enough to understand greatness when they see it.
