00:00All right, let's stick with Ohio State here, guys, back on SportsGrid.
00:03And Ohio State now home to the Heisman Trophy favorite, Jeremiah Smith, at minus 110.
00:09I am curious if, like, what Ohio State has to do record-wise.
00:15Like, if it matters, it might not matter.
00:18The incredible thing is, I shouldn't be surprised by this.
00:25Last year, I actually took a Jeremiah Smith season-long, regular season, Dave, receiving yards under.
00:33And it cashed pretty cleanly.
00:35Missed time.
00:36Like, he did not always have the biggest games in, like, these, like, pocket games, if you will.
00:44Right?
00:44Like, oh, it's a trip to Illinois, you know, under 50 yards.
00:50Well, the difference is that this is the best version of Jeremiah Smith we've seen.
00:55He's not a freshman anymore.
00:57He's a junior.
00:58He's gotten better and better and better.
01:00And he has now had 200 yards, 10-plus catches, and 2-plus touchdowns in both Big Ten games they've
01:12played.
01:13And I don't want to hear, oh, it's Illinois and Iowa.
01:15I don't think anybody would be insane enough to say that.
01:17But in case you are, do not say that.
01:20Jeremiah Smith's props today, 149.5 receiving yards, 8.5 receptions, and minus 120 to score twice.
01:33There will be games or a game where he doesn't, you know, do it all.
01:41But I'm not stepping in front of him here against Maryland.
01:45This game's not on my card, but this is a, man, this is a once-in-a-blue-moon player
01:52here, guys.
01:53And we got to bring him up every chance we can because there's only so many games left in this
01:58incredible collegiate career.
02:00I don't think people understand, if you don't study what we study, what it takes for an odds maker to
02:07post 149.5 for a wide receiver prop.
02:11Ridiculous.
02:12When literally one turned ankle and he under hits.
02:16One, hey, the game's, you know, out of hand and he's not playing the fourth quarter and he under hits.
02:21So 149.5 is an insane number for a receiver.
02:25And it wouldn't surprise me if he hits it.
02:27This is a once-in-a-generational type player.
02:30He's 1.1 on my draft board.
02:32You guys can have Arch Manning and you guys can have everybody else on the board.
02:35I want Jeremiah Smith.
02:37He's that good of a player.
02:38And, yes, on October 10th, he's the Heisman Trophy winner.
02:42Now, what would it take for him not to win the Heisman?
02:45An injury.
02:46He doesn't play the last month of the season.
02:47He doesn't win the Heisman.
02:48He is putting up these numbers every single week.
02:51And it is amusing.
02:52And you can tell people, you can tell your grandkids that you had a Jeremiah Smith under ticket the year
02:59before he set the NCAA record for most receiving yards in a season.
03:04Because he's on pace to do that right now.
03:08On his pace, he's going to shatter the all-time single-season record.
03:12And you had the under the year before.
03:14So frame that puppy.
03:16Yeah, the interesting thing is, so he's 1619 away from 5,000 career yards.
03:25I'm not trying to be ridiculous.
03:26I'm not trying to be ridiculous.
03:28I'm not trying to be ridiculous.
03:30When you start posting a guy 150 every week, here's the other thing for me, is the Texas game, where
03:41he had a career high in targets and 164.
03:44Like, gosh forbid they actually get in a game that matters, right?
03:50Like, that's kind of what you end up with.
03:53Does Ohio State go on?
03:54Because here's the other hidden thing about, you know, the new format.
04:00So 12 regular season games.
04:03Do they get a Big Ten title game?
04:05Right?
04:06That's 13.
04:07And then does this team go play a national championship?
04:11Indiana last year went, what, 16-0, I think it was.
04:14Right?
04:14So he might have 11 more games on the schedule.
04:24Like, just the numbers could be unreal.
04:27Also, he moved to the favorite to go first overall in the NFL draft for anybody keeping tabs on that.
04:34Stanford, Notre Dame, interest you at all, Dave?
04:36Or, sorry, if you wanted to mention on Jeremiah Smith.
04:38No, I was just going to say, I don't see how anybody doing mock drafts does not put him at
04:41the top of the board.
04:42I know people love quarterbacks, and NFL teams trade up for quarterbacks all the time.
04:46But on your board, he's the best player in the country, and it's unquestionable to me.
04:50Okay.
