Is Jeremiah Smith a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender? We examine why the current evaluation standards need a change.
Many fans are hesitant to back Jeremiah Smith for the award because they are constantly comparing his season to Devontae Smith's performance in 2020. This comparison ignores the context of how different players impact their respective teams. Relying solely on yardage benchmarks is a flawed approach to evaluating the true value of a candidate in the modern era of Ohio State football.
We break down why the standard for a wide receiver winning the award should be broader than just raw totals. By shifting the focus away from specific wide receiver stats, we can better understand the unique skill set and contributions he brings to the field this season, which is critical for assessing his overall Heisman candidacy.

Is the Ohio State offensive line set? We look at why Phillip Daniels isn't guaranteed a starting spot this season.
The Buckeyes football roster is seeing significant internal competition, particularly along the front. While Phillip Daniels is a returning starter, his path to reclaiming that position is far from certain given the recent performance of other players in the unit.
We analyze the depth chart dynamics and what this means for the team's overall strategy. Determining the ideal starting lineup is a complex process, and we break down why the coaching staff might be looking toward other options to solidify the group as roster competition intensifies.
