πŸ’° Ohio State vs. Texas best touchdown bet

Jeremiah Smith is our top touchdown scorer pick for Ohio State against Texas on Saturday. The star wide receiver is coming off a dominant season opener, catching eight passes for 151 yards and two touchdowns against Ball State, all in just 35 snaps. Smith also enters his junior season with 29 career receiving touchdowns, giving him one of the best scoring resumes in college football.

While Texas has limited Smith in their previous meetings, holding him without a touchdown, Ohio State should continue finding ways to get its best playmaker involved. With Julian Sayin playing confidently and Smith coming off an explosive opener, this is the perfect stage for him to break through against Texas and find the end zone.
