The Buckeyes crushed Oregon 41-21, marking their second consecutive blowout win in the College Football Playoff. Ohio State surged ahead 34-0 in the second quarter, with Smith catching 5 passes for 161 yards and 2 touchdowns by the 10:28 mark. Oregon managed only 60 total yards at that point. Smith’s performance included four touchdown catches in his two playoff games, averaging 22.3 yards per catch.
