Kent State coach discusses Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith and receiving corps
Summary

Ahead of the matchup on September 14, Kent State coach Mark Carney advised his defensive backs to prepare for Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and the Buckeyes' talented receiving group. Carney emphasized the challenge of defending not only Smith, who recently had eight catches for 164 yards against Texas, but also players like Brandon Inniss and Chris Henry Jr. Smith is close to a milestone, needing just 26 receiving yards to break Ohio State's all-time record. Carney's comments come as Ohio State aims to improve its offensive production after a recent loss.
