Jeremiah Smith has done it again. The Ohio State freshman receiver snared a touchdown catch with one hand for the second consecutive week to give the Buckeyes their second score over Iowa.
Smith caught the 4-yard TD with only his right hand while holding Hawkeyes cornerback Deshaun Lee off with his left.
The highlight catch finished off a nine-play, 86-yard drive on Ohio State’s first possession of the second half. Prior to his touchdown grab, Smith hauled in a 53-yard pass to get to the Iowa 4-yard line.
Last week against Michigan State, Smith made two one-handed catches against the same two Spartans defensive backs on Ohio State’s final drive before halftime.
The first one was a leaping 27-yard reception between two MSU defenders. The second grab went for a touchdown after Smith beat his defender at the line and dashed past him to reach out for a throw from quarterback Will Howard.
The second one-hander went for a Buckeyes touchdown and a 24-7 lead going into halftime.
Against Iowa, Smith has four catches for 89 yards and a touchdown, along with a 14-yard rush.
