Jeremiah Smith criticized after Ohio State loss to Oregon

Jeremiah Smith expressed frustration during Ohio State's 41-28 loss to Oregon on November 7, 2026. Smith, seen yelling at the sideline in the second half, had been quiet much of the game, contributing only one catch until late in the third quarter. His behavior drew criticism from an Ohio State reporter, who labeled him a 'petulant child.' Despite his efforts, finishing with seven catches for 133 yards and a touchdown, Ohio State suffered its second consecutive loss. Head coach Ryan Day highlighted the need for accountability in the team's performance going forward.
