Damien Harris discusses Jeremiah Smith's Ohio State future after loss to Oregon
Summary

During Ohio State's 41-28 loss to Oregon, Jeremiah Smith's performance raised questions about his future with the team. CBS Sports analyst Damien Harris suggested that Smith may not play again this season, citing a lack of potential gains and risk of injury. Harris emphasized that with Ohio State not in the College Football Playoff picture, there might be little motivation for Smith to continue competing. He mentioned that the rivalry game against Michigan on November 28 could be the exception if Smith chooses to play. Despite the recent struggles, Smith's accolades, including surpassing 100 receiving yards in the game, keep him in the spotlight as a potential NFL draft pick amidst uncertainty about his remaining games with the Buckeyes.
