  Jeremiah Smith Is A CHEAT CODE! Buckeyes Crush Illinois 42-19

  Sep 28, 20267 min

  Jeremiah Smith just reminded everyone why he may be the most dangerous receiver in college football. On this episode of the Buckeyes Daily Blitz on Fan Stream Sports, Jeff “Tito” Thitoff breaks down Ohio State’s 42-19 win over Illinois, a game the Buckeyes controlled from start to finish. The biggest story was Smith. Jeremiah Smith dominated with 12 catches for 217 yards and four touchdowns, tying the Ohio State single-game record for receiving touchdowns while delivering one of the biggest performances of his Buckeyes career. Julian Sayin was sharp again, completing 27 of 36 passes for 357 yards and four touchdowns. Ryan Day also praised Sayin’s improved mobility after the quarterback added a seven-yard rushing touchdown, calling that element of his game an “X-factor.” Ohio State handled Illinois, but the running game remains a concern. The Buckeyes got the win comfortably, yet the ground attack still hasn’t found the consistency expected from this offense. Now comes Iowa. College GameDay heads to Iowa City as Ohio State prepares for a 3:30 p.m. road matchup against No. 14 Iowa, which is coming off a dramatic 20-19 win over Michigan. Iowa remains exactly what it’s been for decades — physical, disciplined, committed to the run and extremely difficult to beat at home. The Buckeyes also climbed to No. 5 in the AP Top 25, keeping them firmly in the College Football Playoff race as the Big Ten picture starts to separate. Tito breaks down: - Jeremiah Smith’s monster afternoon - Julian Sayin’s continued growth - Ryan Day calling Smith a “cheat code” - Ohio State’s lingering rushing concerns - Why Iowa is dangerous - The changing Big Ten playoff picture - Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon and Iowa jockeying for position Subscribe to Fan Stream Sports for daily Ohio State football coverage, Buckeyes reaction and college football analysis.

  Ohio State’s New Weapons, QB2 Battle & Texas Looming in Week 2

  Sep 5, 202610 min

  Ohio State opens the 2026 season against Ball State with Jeremiah Smith, Julian Sayin, Legend Bey and Chris Henry Jr. all in the spotlight — and Texas waiting immediately in Week 2. Jeff “Tito” Thitoff breaks down what he wants to see from the Buckeyes in the opener, including the offensive tempo under Arthur Miller, the backup quarterback battle between Tavien St. Clair and Luke Fahey, and how Ryan Day plans to use freshman playmakers like Legend Bey and Chris Henry Jr. There’s also plenty to watch on defense, where Ohio State is replacing a major chunk of last year’s production and breaking in new faces across the unit. With the Buckeyes favored by more than 50 points, the real question isn’t whether they win — it’s how sharp they look before the schedule gets serious. Tito also gets into Jim Tressel’s Ring of Honor recognition, Maurice Clarett’s pregame role, the early Heisman campaigns for Jeremiah Smith and Julian Sayin, and the wider college football chaos surrounding LSU, the SEC and eligibility questions involving former NFL players. Plus: Rutgers’ stunning loss to UMass, Colorado’s win over Georgia Tech, Toledo-Michigan State and other Week 1 storylines.

The Buckeyes also named seven captains for 2026, including Smith, Sayin, Brandon Inniss and Austin Siereveld. Tito discusses Inniss receiving the Block O jersey, the experienced offensive line and the Big Ten and SEC pushing back against former professional athletes returning to college.
