Ohio State's brightest rising star dropped the goal line against Iowa defensive lineman Deshaun Lee, was immediately targeted by Will Howard, and then turned to catch the football one-handed in a way and Way that looked way too easy.

Smith gave Lee a little push at the end of the game, cheering him hard for a little more disrespect as the Buckeyes took a 14-0 lead over the Hawkeyes.

That catch becomes even more impressive when you consider the play immediately before it, when Smith raced past Iowa's entire secondary for a 53-yard bomb.

Smith is now the first freshman in program history to score a touchdown in five consecutive games to begin his freshman season. The touchdown catch is Smith's second spectacular one-handed scoring catch in as many weeks, following an 18-yard one-handed scoring catch at Michigan State last week.

Ohio State followed Smith's scoring drive with a defensive fumble recovery and a rushing score from Will Howard and now leads 21-0 in the third quarter.
