Just threw it up there 💀

[u/jdprager → u/playschoolatosu]

There’s college open, NFL open, and Jeremiah Smith open, which is just “he’s standing on the field somewhere”

[u/nightowl1135 → u/playschoolatosu]

Sayin with the most “Fuck it, Jeremiah Smith is down there somewhere” play you will see in a while

[u/Fun_Valuable → u/playschoolatosu]

"Jeremiah winning the Heisman, he'll catch this shit" Proceeds to bomb it

[u/muttonchops215 → u/Fun_Valuable]

If you can pay Mensah enough, he and Toney might be 1-2 in the voting next year. I still expect both of them for the ceremony this year.

[u/mr_antman85 → u/playschoolatosu]

To be honest, Smith should have had 2 TD. The other pass was severely under throw and he has 2 defenders beat.

[u/Orbital2 → u/mr_antman85]

I don’t think we have what it takes to make a playoff run but it’s unfortunate that Smith’s Heisman race might be over if Sayin is out long term

[u/Greenlytrees → u/mr_antman85]

That was also interference, but the throw made a TD on the bomb unlikely

[u/j48u → u/playschoolatosu]

Which is basically what he does 50% of the time to Smith. Not on this play, but how many times have we seen Smith prevent an interception by just being able to tip the ball on a wild throw? If it's down field enough, Saying will throw it into triple coverage all day.

[u/samk7675]

When Julian Sayin goes pro, he needs to give like half his money to Jeremiah Smith. Smith is saving this dude's life.

[u/Not_RZA_ → u/samk7675]

For real. Every single ball is underthrown lmao

[u/RestInPorzingis → u/samk7675]

if

[u/kse_john → u/RestInPorzingis]

HUGE if here, Sayin is very inaccurate garbage.

[u/Good_Yesterday6273 → u/RestInPorzingis]

A BIG if

[u/BuckeyeForLife95 → u/samk7675]

Jeremiah gotta look out for that $3 venmo from Sayin.

[u/Ickyhouse → u/samk7675]

Practice squad players don't earn that much. He's going to make less in the NFL than he made in college

[u/3dge-1ord → u/samk7675]

Just carry his bags now. That Canadian league money doesn't go very far.

[u/iconic444]

Fuck it, 4 is down there somewhere

[u/jdprager → u/[deleted]]

He is, by a fuckin mile. -240 compared to +950 for Mensah in second

[u/JakeSteeleIII → u/[deleted]]

How could you say something so brave yet controversial?

[u/Not_RZA_ → u/[deleted]]

He is…?

[u/lowes18 → u/[deleted]]

Its not even close this year. Only Russell or him imo

[u/California_Stop_King → u/lowes18]

Mensah/Russell/Smith as finalists is pretty much a sure thing, with Jeremiah a heavy favorite for the time being. The fourth is a wild card

[u/TheRealPort]

Least contested catch in double coverage of all time

[u/jdprager]

That’s a “Fuck you, we’ve got the best player on the planet” play call if I’ve ever seen one

[u/Britton120 → u/jdprager]

Needs to have a heisman highlight moment in every game

[u/HotdawgSizzle → u/jdprager]

Reminds me a little of Julio.

Just chuck the ball up near him and he will make it happen.

[u/Hot-Yoghurt-119]

Perfect example of fuck it he down there somewhere

[u/ecupatsfan12 → u/Hot-Yoghurt-119]

Best wr I’ve seen since Randy moss

[u/hoppy1028 → u/Hot-Yoghurt-119]

That’s a “give me that damn ball” play

[u/Moose4KU]

Was this the ugliest TD passes of Sayin's career? Yes. But it was a TD though.

[u/Bondorian → u/Moose4KU]

“But you have heard of it,” Captain Jack Sparrow probably

[u/Ohwhat_anight → u/Bondorian]

*Captain Jack Sawyer

[u/Bondorian → u/Ohwhat_anight]

Oh fuck, that’s so much better

[u/ImpossibleDenial → u/Moose4KU]

Smith down there somewhere

[u/Frostfire26 → u/Moose4KU]

"It don't have to be pretty, Smith'll get it"

[u/NOLAblonde → u/Moose4KU]

Signs of a true Heisman. I could throw TDs to this dude.

[u/lazercats1 → u/Moose4KU]

Sayin channeling his best Kyle McCord today

[u/remymile]

GIVE HIM THE TROPHY ALREADY

[u/Thatguydrag]

Sayin owes all his NIL to JJ

[u/SnooBooks1243]

Meatball but because its #4 it gets hauled in somehow. Real argument that if whoever gets the first pick doesnt need a QB that this is who your team should grab

[u/MaxwellSlice → u/SnooBooks1243]

Without a doubt the Chargers need to take him if they get #1 overall.

[u/deeds44 → u/MaxwellSlice]

He said team that doesn’t need a QB.

[u/Slyp9 → u/deeds44]

Haha why did this get downvoted

[u/SnooBooks1243 → u/deeds44]

Cmon now, yall dont get to talk Bout QBs…

[u/Tommy-Truk → u/SnooBooks1243]

100% if I’m a team like the Chargers or Saints and end up with the 1st pick, I’m taking Smith and not thinking twice

[u/andross_27 → u/SnooBooks1243]

I really don’t think there’s a QB worth the 1st overall this year. Titans should probably take Smith and give Ward another year with Tate and Smith

[u/JP1119]

Dude is so good. Gonna be a 1,200 yard, 8 TD receiver as a rookie

[u/mayfield2dallas → u/JP1119]

Incredible downfield talent. Not sure how to stop this in cfb

[u/Deviljho12]

Honestly, cudos to Smith for hauling it in, but this is more of an indictment on IU's defense than his greatness. This is straight up a borderline hail mary ball and none of you get an eye on it?

[u/honeybadgerrulez → u/Deviljho12]

safety turned away from smith lmao. how are you playing against him and turn AWAY

[u/Thechasepack → u/Deviljho12]

It's a 4th and 1 play so a hail Mary throw is close to the last thing you added expecting as a DB there.

[u/iwearatophat → u/Thechasepack]

I feel like 4th and short deep shots are somewhat common. This turned into a hail mary because Sayin was so damn late on the throw.

[u/Thechasepack → u/iwearatophat]

That's exactly what I think caught the DBs off guard.

[u/The_Fluffy_Robot → u/Thechasepack]

Your job as DB is to always be playing as if the ball is about to be coming to the receiver(s) near you though.

Should a DC expect a check down more than a hail mary? Yes, but not as a DB on the field defending

[u/RealityisBack2023 → u/Deviljho12]

Reminded me of Adon last year against Miami completely biffing on that CJ Daniels TD

[u/Unrelenting_Salsa → u/Deviljho12]

It really is. Most of his long TDs are much more impressive than this. Mostly because Sayin sucks and is a Jeremiah Smith merchant, but still. No reason at all that Smith should have been able to get position here.

[u/Mr-Logic101 → u/Deviljho12]

Hail merry on a 4th and 1 ain’t exactly the common play

[u/IhamAmerican → u/Mr-Logic101]

It's Hail Mary, like the prayers

[u/LovesYankeesAndObama → u/Deviljho12]

Just like the Bears against Christian Watson

[u/jducer → u/Deviljho12]

Maybe.

[u/GP_ADD → u/jducer]

That looks like a Hail Mary 100%. It’s a lollipop. J Smith is just crazy good.

[u/tulsasmit → u/Deviljho12]

He clearly had the defends beat. I think they were in a bit of panic catchup mode. The pass was bad and he adjusted.

[u/Dangerous_Ad5039]

This is what Johnny Manziel looked like throwing to Mike Evans

[u/Geeman447]

Sayin just doesn’t have it to be an nfl qb

[u/lokapat → u/Geeman447]

Fortunately this isn’t the nfl

[u/Good_Yesterday6273 → u/Geeman447]

Don’t think he’ll ever be one

[u/Orbital2 → u/Geeman447]

I mean, he’s really too small to be a very enticing prospect even if he was a bit more consistent.

[u/LIONEL14JESSE]

He looks like a dad bullying his kids on thanksgiving

[u/DweltElephant0]

Unrank OSU and rank Jeremiah Smith

[u/ducksekoy123]

Sayin winning Smith the Heisman by throwing ducks only he can catch

[u/hawkeyehammer]

One of those plays that just looks so easy...but it's because Smith toasted everyone, and is able to read the ball so well.

[u/Brian_lafeve34]

Some absolutely awful defense in the worst possible spot

[u/Vivid_Average_7574]

4th down hail Mary to #4, sure why not

[u/rikrok58]

Abysmal coverage on the best player in the country...

[u/Bandlebury]

I think the defenders were shocked by how bad of a throw it was so they misjudged it

[u/Emotional_Oil_5939]

Just give him the freaking Heisman now.

[u/lerk954]

Ball gets intercepted 99% of the time if it’s not Jeremiah down there.

[u/lokapat → u/lerk954]

Ok

[u/indianafan]

Obviously smith is great but how does neither guy even contest?

[u/DirectorSolid → u/indianafan]

Didn't have time to find the ball once they ran to Sayin

[u/Illustrious-Rest3535]

Obviously he’s insane but also that coverage is tough …

[u/Bandlebury → u/Illustrious-Rest3535]

Terrible coverage

[u/VolsTuba13]

But did he call Jackpot?

[u/Free_Salamander_9787]

Everyone shitting on Sayin at least gotta admit it takes some cojones to chuck that thang on 4th and 1

[u/ConsciousClassroom66 → u/Free_Salamander_9787]

Yeah but he is sucking eggs dude

[u/ibinpharteeen → u/ConsciousClassroom66]

He hasn’t been good, but Memorial Stadium does have a tendency to be a wind tunnel

[u/ConsciousClassroom66 → u/ibinpharteeen]

It's not just his throws, he has made some dumb fuck mistakes. Taking 2 unforced sacks, forcing throws to Smith because he's frustrating.

Edit:

Another fucking terrible decision and he fumbles. This guy is having an awful game.

[u/DirectorSolid → u/Free_Salamander_9787]

He always has cojones, and he's able to ignore the previous play like a seasoned NFL pro. But he still can't throw the damn ball today.

[u/Greenlytrees → u/DirectorSolid]

He needs to be able to shake off rough stretches better, no doubt about it. But he also never had a chance to get into a rhythm before he got beat tf up. He bears some responsibility for the sacks but the refs literally stopped our first half offense in its tracks. But again sayin still has to be able to find a way through the struggles, and he hasn’t yet.

[u/Deviljho12 → u/Free_Salamander_9787]

It's a bad decision with a good outcome. That ball is floating up there forever and if even one of IU's 3 DBs takes a look back it's either a pick in the endzone or turnover on downs. Why not just take the 1st down when you have the lead instead of throwing a YOLO ball into double coverage.

[u/Free_Salamander_9787 → u/Deviljho12]

Completions are way more awesome when you force 'em through triple coverage. REMEMBER THAT!

[u/DirectionMore344]

“F’ it. Jeremiah down there somewhere”

[u/xJayTeeee]

Fuck it, Jeremiah down there somewhere

[u/MrJusticeDouglas]

"Jeremiah down there somewhere."

[u/DJScrambles]

Edit: Jeremiah Smith stands in the end zone and takes one step forward to defeat a hilariously incompetent defense unlike any he will play against in the NFL

[u/11oydchristmas → u/DJScrambles]

He will also more than likely have a QB who can throw it ahead of him to catch in stride

[u/EstablishmentOld9838 → u/DJScrambles]

This is very true. I would avoid drafting him if I was any team picking above the Browns.

From a Browns fan

[u/bisonboy223]

Every Jeremiah Smith highlight is just him burning multiple defenders followed by a horrendous underthrow

[u/beck_diggity → u/bisonboy223]

100%. It actually makes his highlights even more impressive because Sayin NEVER hits him in stride

[u/feric51 → u/bisonboy223]

You’re getting downvoted, but I honestly can’t remember Sayin hitting Smith in stride on any pass 15+ yards downfield.

[u/OSUmiller5 → u/[deleted]]

Took a while for the buckeyes to finally just accept it too lol

[u/Sebcannon]

"Fuck it, Jeremiah down there somewhere"

• Jeremiah's future NFL QB

[u/Shinranfargo]

ngl I know he was good, but good lord he might actually go first in the round in the draft. (Smith)

[u/cant_read_this]

You could literally do this all day lol

[u/Corrective_Actions1]

But when I adjust my balls its an HR violation.

[u/CilviaDemoAOTD]

Posting shit version of highlights that don’t include the replay where you can actually see the play happen downfield👏

[u/hansgruberr → u/CilviaDemoAOTD]

Be the change you want to see in the world.

[u/CilviaDemoAOTD → u/hansgruberr]

They’ll just get removed for not being posted by the right account

[u/scarletarrows]

My heisman!

[u/seanvettel-31]

That looked like a Hail Mary attempt lol but I’ll take it

[u/mattatattat45]

His adjustment when the ball in the air is his least appreciated skill

[u/Zwonder74]

Smith amongst boys

[u/LoCh0_xX]

fuck it Jeremiah down there somewhere

[u/texas2089]

Dude is just fucking unreal.

[u/Sorge74]

HIM is not dramatic enough.

[u/lil_layne]

Ferrell what are you doing? He was in position to make the play on the ball and then just ran behind Smith and fell down.

[u/FireMike_PleaseGod → u/lil_layne]

That’s what I was seeing as well.

Double coverage with DB playing behind and the safety coming underneath but then……. the safety just keeps floating by?

[u/gimeebilgrays]

Sayin has balls of steel for making that throw on 4th and 1, holy shit

[u/Jceraa → u/gimeebilgrays]

Balls of steel or arms of pasta?

[u/gimeebilgrays → u/Jceraa]

Takes balls to chuck it with a noodle arm 😭

[u/BigDull8251]

Heisman moment

[u/Bacondog22]

Looks like a Randy moss highlight

[u/Confident_Yellow_381]

Jeremiah knocked the defenders over with his conquerors spirit

[u/Free_Possession_4482]

Heisman trophy is back on the menu, boys!

[u/BriskManeuver]

Heisman

[u/Rickys_Lineup_Card]

That was an arm punt and we tried to let it bounce.

[u/Jonjon428]

Shades of Randy Moss

[u/naptown-hooly → u/[deleted]]

Not with Sayin hurt

[u/Bwhitt1]

Man v boy

[u/Ep3_Pnw]

What 😂😂 4th & 1, RB is right in front of him (wide open) but he heaves it to a guy facing double coverage in the endzone.

[u/StoneMer]

I'm a huge fan of the intentional underthrow just because it gets called for PK if the WR sells it at all.

I didn't think that was a viable strategy for a deep pass into the endzone.

[u/Wide-Nerve8655]

The Rex Grossman “fuck it I’m going deep” throw works when you have Jeremiah Smith

[u/ScuddsMcDudds]

Nononono-YES!

[u/putalittlepooponit]

This is my superbowl unfort

[u/ThE_LAN_B4_TimE]

Was a terrible play highlighted by horrific defense. Then you have OSU fans yelling about Heisman because he literally just took a step back and caught the ball. Nothing impressive about this play whatsoever. Indiana giving this one away.

[u/Possible_Self7839]

Goat college wr

[u/Successful-Ruin-9405]

#1 misjudged that pass by about 8 yards, so horrifically bad

[u/Kozmog]

Everyone saying it was a bad throw, the defenders weren't really in a position to make a play so I'd say it was a pretty good throw
