Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith turned in another dominant performance in the Buckeyes' 31-14 win over Iowa on Saturday, breaking the school's career receptions and touchdown-receptions records. After the game, Smith declared himself 'the best player in the country,' a statement analysts say is increasingly hard to dispute given his statistical dominance through Week 5. The performance has cemented Smith as the clear Heisman Trophy front-runner entering the second half of the season, with Ohio State emerging as one of the sport's top programs. His record-setting day was a headline storyline in a Saturday that also saw several ranked teams reassert their dominance.
