Michael Jenkins was the previous record-holder at 2,898 yards. There have been many great wideouts who have worn the Scarlet and Gray, but Smith has produced a one-of-a-kind legacy over the last three seasons.

The unanimous All-American and Ohio State are using Kent State as a convenient punching bag after their rough visit to Austin, jumping out to a 28-0 lead within the first 24 minutes of game time. They cannot dwell on the Longhorns. Perhaps their paths will cross again before season's end, but a formidable Big Ten slate awaits.
