“Congratulations on the triple crown, it’s been special watching you put your name in the record books,” Hill added in a video viewed over 8,000 times as of Saturday afternoon.
The Buckeyes began the day with news of coach Ryan Day’s classy message to Iowa’s Stead Family Children’s Hospital. Day’s team outgained Iowa 484 yards to 238, one week after Iowa’s thrilling upset victory over the Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor. Smith made the extraordinary look like par for the course yet again, racking up 11 catches for 206 yards and two touchdowns in the Buckeyes’ Big Ten road win.
October 10 brings a golden opportunity for the Buckeyes to hone their skills against the Maryland Terrapins on the road before a colossal matchup with Curt Cignetti’s defending Big Ten Champion Indiana Hoosiers on October 17 in Bloomington.
