The Ohio State Buckeyes are headed to the national championship following a 28-14 win over the Texas Longhorns in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

Ohio State has been on fire as of late, defeating each of its playoff opponents by double digits. They began the postseason with a 42-17 win over Tennessee, followed that with a 41-21 win over Oregon and then dominated Texas.

While it's been a successful year for the Buckeyes, Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith made it clear that the job's not finished.

"1 More," Smith posted after the game.

Smith finished the matchup with just one reception for three yards. The freshman phenom had a quiet night in the Cotton Bowl, but prior to the matchup against Texas, Smith was the driving factor to the Buckeyes offense.

In the quarterfinal win over Oregon, Smith produced two touchdowns and 187 yards on seven receptions. He also recorded two touchdowns and 103 yards on six receptions in the first round.

So far this season, as a true freshman, Smith has posted 14 touchdowns and 1,227 yards on 71 receptions.

Smith and the Buckeyes will now face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish for the national championship on Jan. 20 at 7:30 p.m. ET.
