Ohio State playmaker drops a mic check moment about Jeremiah Smith after dropping Washington

The Ohio State Buckeyes were almost captured in the most obvious trap game opportunity we've seen for the program in a few years. A far trip to the West Coast for a redshirt quarterback in his first road game, plus facing an athletic quarterback and an upstart young team, caught the Buckeyes in a close game for three quarters.

But Jeremiah Smith exists, and the Ohio State Buckeyes needed him to break through in this moment. Julian Sayin was good, but the offense only held the ball for three drives in the first half, scoring once. The tide started turning a bit in the second half when Smith became a bigger priority.

Ohio State running back CJ Donaldson was quick to drop a hilarious compliment on Smith's performance.

Donaldson, who totaled 39 yards and one touchdown on nine carries, said that Smith was the catalyst for a more comfortable Buckeyes win as time expired.

“That alien gave us some juice. That guy’s different," Donaldson proclaimed.
