With each game he plays this season, Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith continues to shut down his critics and doubters. This past Saturday featured another dominant performance from Smith, with the Buckeyes star recording 11 receptions for 206 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-14 win over Iowa. It was his second consecutive game with 200 or more receiving yards and his third game of the season with at least two touchdowns.
Former Georgia defensive end David Pollack, now a college football analyst, was among those who previously doubted Smith was this good. However, he apologized for his previous criticism of the 6-foot-4 junior receiver after his latest game. "Jeremiah Smith, I apologize.
I was wrong; you were right. Everyone else is smart; I'm stupid. He's the best player in college football.
It's very clear," Pollack said.

With that, he explained why he had previously been skeptical of the Buckeyes' star receiver.
"The superhuman mutant moved all over the field. He's done a little bit of everything," he said. "I'm one of the people that when you continue talk about somebody all the time, I'm like, 'Alright, we've had enough of that.' Keep talking about him.
He's that good." "It's warranted. Jeremiah Smith, I apologize," Pollack reiterated. For the season, Smith leads the nation with 44 receptions and 823 receiving yards.
