To hear Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith tell it, Oregon better play zone defense during Wednesday's College Football Playoff quarterfinal showdown.
"I'm just laughing in my head. Why are y'all really playing man-on-man against us, or against me, I should say?" Smith told reporters Monday. "And when we see man [coverage] against any of our receivers, we're going to take a shot down the field.
"So I'm just letting everybody know right now that if you play man Wednesday, we're taking a shot."
The Buckeyes are typically loaded at the wide receiver position, and this season is no different.
