- Jeremiah Smith directly told Heisman voters 'I'm the best player in the country' following a record-setting day against Iowa.
- Smith surpassed Ohio State's all-time career receptions record during the 31-14 win over Iowa.
- Smith also broke Ohio State's all-time career touchdown receptions record in the same game.
- Ohio State's offense rolled to a 31-14 victory over Iowa powered by Smith's latest monster performance.
- Smith likely cemented himself as the Heisman Trophy front-runner with the dual-record game.
Why it matters: By breaking two career receiving records and delivering a direct pitch to voters, Smith has shifted the Heisman conversation from speculation to near-consensus — the Ohio State receiver now leads the race on production rather than narrative, and any Heisman voter still on the fence has a quote and two all-time marks to point to.
