There was never much doubt Jeremiah Smith could handle the pressures of a starring role as a freshman in the College Football Playoff, but any that existed got erased within the first three minutes of game time.
That's all it took for Smith to collect a 37-yard touchdown grab and put Ohio State up 7-0 on its opening drive against Tennessee, paving the way for the wideout's fourth 100-yard game of the season as the Buckeyes rebuffed the Volunteers 42-17 and advanced to the CFP quarterfinals.
"You see what the kid does with the ball in his hands and what he does with the ball, you know, not in his hands," Ohio State quarterback Will Howard said after the game.
