Indiana managed to hold Jeremiah Smith in check for most of Saturday's loss to Ohio State.
The best receiver in college football and odds-on favorite to win the Heisman Trophy only had four catches for 68 yards in the game, but his biggest play of the day came at an inopportune time for the Hoosiers.
Smith caught a 38-yard touchdown pass in the end zone on fourth down despite being blanketed in coverage by Indiana defenders. That score gave the Buckeyes a 19-7 lead, and it proved to be decisive in the 19-15 win.
During an Instagram Live video in the locker room after the game, Smith said his statline was the result of the Hoosiers selling out to prevent him from catching the football.

"They double-teamed me every ******* play!" Smith said.
Smith entered the weekend ranking second in the nation (and first in the Power Four) with 916 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. He was a safety blanket during a rough day for Julian Sayin, who turned the ball over three times on the road.
Now, on a day full of chaos, the Buckeyes are poised to further climb the rankings after their fifth win in a row.
