Ohio State vs Indiana Preview: Jeremiah Smith Makes His Heisman Trophy Case | THE SCRIPT

Jeremiah Smith had a "quiet" day in Ohio State football's 45-16 win over Maryland — 4 catches, 93 yards, 2 touchdowns — and still took over the game. On this episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells and Dave Holmes break down why the Buckeyes wide receiver is the most dangerous playmaker in college football and a legit Heisman Trophy frontrunner. Ohio State beat Maryland to stay unbeaten, but 8 penalties and 2 turnovers made it sloppy. That won't fly this week in Bloomington. Ohio State heads on the road for a massive Big Ten showdown with Indiana, a rematch of last season's loss with huge College Football Playoff implications on the line. The guys break down Ohio State's defense, why the pass rush has to pressure Indiana QB Josh Hoover into turnovers, and how the Buckeyes have to win the line of scrimmage and the turnover battle. With Indiana set to bracket Jeremiah Smith in coverage, Ohio State will need the run game and a WR2 to step up. Can the Buckeyes clean up the penalties, control the trenches, and leave Bloomington with a statement road win? Plus, the guys react to Marvin Harrison being traded to Houston to reunite with CJ Stroud.
