Ohio State superstar receiver Jeremiah Smith makes bold prediction about Michigan
As the saying goes, "you only know what you don't know." That might be the case with superstar wide receiver Jeremiah Smith recently because he made some comments that will surely make it into a certain opposing locker room as bulletin board material. Smith, in an interview with The Athletic's Manny Navarro at the OT7 Playoffs, talked at great length on a variety of topics, including his phenomenal record-breaking freshman season. Any discussion on last year has to include the surprising, if not shocking, loss to arch-rival Michigan in Columbus. 'I'm not a sore loser, but I hate losing, and losing to that team up north was pretty crazy,' Smith said. 'In the end, I think it really helped us play the way we did in the playoffs. But I didn't want to go to Ohio State and lose to that team up north. I just hate them. Just something about them. For the next two years, I promise you, I will not lose to them. I can't lose to them in the next two years.' Promise? That sounds like a guarantee to anyone reading or listening, and there's no doubt that those with Maize and Blue in their wardrobes are especially taking note. If anyone can back it up, it's a player like Smith, who might just be the best player in college football next season. He's far from the reason the Buckeyes lost that game, but the game plan didn't exactly take advantage of his skill on the outside, as many OSU fans will begrudgingly recall. Still, someone has to throw the ball to Smith, and that means someone has to have time and space to do it. So yeah, it's not all up to Smith, but if he has anything to do with it, you can bet he'll do whatever he can to make sure that type of loss doesn't happen again to Ohio State's arch rival. And while you like the confidence, you just wish those types of comments were left on the tip of the tongue and not out there for the enemy to read and digest.
