Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith makes a one-handed TD catch for the second week in a row

Jeremiah Smith has done it again. The Ohio State freshman receiver managed a one-handed touchdown catch for the second week in a row, giving the Buckeyes’ a 14-0 lead over Iowa.

Smith caught the four-yard score with just his right hand while holding off Hawkeyes cornerback Deshaun Lee with his left hand.

The highlight catch capped a nine-play, 86-yard drive on Ohio State’s first possession of the second half. Before his touchdown grab, Smith hauled in a 53-yard pass to reach the Iowa 4-yard line.

Last week against Michigan State, Smith made two one-handed catches against the same two Spartan defensive backs on Ohio State’s final drive before halftime.

The first was a 27-yard leaping reception between two MSU defenders. The second grab went for a touchdown after Smith beat his defender at the line and charged past him to grab a throw from quarterback Will Howard.

The second one-hander went for a Buckeyes touchdown and a 24-7 lead going into halftime. Devin Brown took over at QB after Howard took a hard hit from MSU linebacker Jordan Turner and fired a pass down the right sideline on third-and-10 from the Spartans’ 17-yard line.

Midway through the third quarter, Smith has three catches for 80 yards and a touchdown, along with a rush of 14 yards. Ohio State leads Iowa, 28-0, after three quarters.
