Ohio State is playing Michigan, and the matchup is as intense as it gets. The Buckeyes currently lead 17-9 at halftime. However, those 17 OSU points didn’t come easily. The Wolverines took a lead after 2 field goals and limited Ryan Day’s team to an FG despite 5 attempts in the red zone on their second drive. Guess who flipped the script then? In came Jeremiah Smith, who caught a 35-yard touchdown screamer from Julian Sayin on their third drive. The 4th-down play had even Lebron James giving his flowers to Ohio State’s sophomore WR.

“TD 4!!!! Happy Bday too Young 🤴🏾🙌🏾,” wrote James on X, tributing Jeremiah Smith’s #4 jersey for his 35-yard touchdown catch. It’s also special since today is also Jeremiah Smith’s 20th birthday, and getting the special play against a team like Michigan will make this birthday memorable for life.

Mind you, the Wolverines intercepted Julian Sayin on the QB’s first target to Jeremiah Smith on their first drive. That moment had Ohio State recalling the ghosts of 2024, when the Wolverines didn’t let Smith have a single reception in the fourth quarter. For a moment, it seemed like the same trend would continue. But Ryan Day’s offense came through, at least so far.
