Coach Ryan Day's Ohio State Buckeyes are 7-3 on the season after a 28-19 win over Northwestern at the Horseshoe in Columbus that led to an honest confession from the well known coach. Coach Ryan Day's Buckeyes broke a two-game losing streak, but one notable personality was not impressed.

The Buckeyes' win caught the attention of Robert Griffin III, a former Heisman winner himself who also went to a Pro Bowl in the NFL. He shared his thoughts on why he thinks Jeremiah Smith should win the Heisman while also taking aim at Desmond Howard for his comments on the Buckeyes star.

“If Ohio State wins out, Jeremiah Smith should win the Heisman Trophy. He is the best player in the country,” Griffin III said. Howard questioned Smith's resume, saying he hasn't had big-time moments in big games that stick out in his mind.

Griffin III begged to differ.

“Jeremiah Smith is the Big Ten all-time leader in receiving yards, receiving touchdowns and tied for first in 100 yard games with 17. Jeremiah Smith is the FBS record holder for receiving yards for a plater in his first three years in college. You see Desmond Howard and anyone with eyes knows that Jeremiah Smith is ALWAYS THE DIFFERENT on any field he steps on,” the college football analyst continued.

Ohio State has an eye toward next year after flipping a recruit from Texas State. Coach Day's team still has unfinished business for this season with Luke Fahey taking over at quarterback and games left against Nebraska and Michigan.

Smith has a job to do as the Buckeyes' season winds down. If he can lead his team to another victory or two, he will almost certainly find himself in New York City for the Heisman ceremony with a great chance to win going forward.
