Three receptions for 80 yards and one touchdown were all that Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith needed to leave his mark on the Buckeyes' dominant victory over the Michigan Wolverines.
After scoring his singular touchdown of the game, Smith stuck it to the Wolverines, literally. While it might not have been the most "safe-for-work" touchdown celebration of the weekend, Smith giving the Michigan crowd the middle finger after scoring was as iconic as possible.
When he finally got back to his phone, Smith made sure to double down on his celebration of choice, using social media to rub salt in the Wolverines' wounds.

No, that isn't a burner or a fake account; that is Smith's actual X, and he ensured that everyone saw his celebration, even if they didn't watch the game in real time.
Smith, Tate, Jackson, Sayin dominate the Wolverines
While Smith's stats from the win weren't for the record books, he was part of an offensive showcase, led by quarterback Julian Sayin and running back Bo Jackson.
Sayin had 19 completions (73.1 percent) for 233 yards and three touchdowns. Jackson had 166 total scrimmage yards. Smith's fellow wideout Carnell Tate had five receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown of his own.
Simply put, there was no stopping the Ohio State offense as the Buckeyes blew past the Wolverines, both at the line of scrimmage and in the secondary. Meanwhile, the OSU defense dominated the Michigan offense on the other side of the ball.
The Wolverines' true-freshman quarterback, Bryce Underwood, finished the day with an abysmal eight completions (44.4 percent) for just 63 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. The entire offense combined for 100 rushing yards as injuries held the running back room to a minimum.
Finally, Ryan Day and the Buckeyes are victorious over the Wolverines once again, and Ohio State is heading to the Big Ten Championship with a perfect 12-0 record in its back pocket.
The No. 1 Buckeyes are set to face the No. 2 Indiana Hoosiers (who are also heading to the game with a 12-0 record) in the conference title game, which is scheduled for Saturday, December 6, and will take place in Indianapolis.
