Jeremiah Smith has done it again. The Ohio State freshman receiver made his second straight one-handed touchdown catch, giving the Buckeyes their second score against Iowa.

Smith caught the 4-yard TD with just his right hand while fending off Hawkeyes cornerback Deshaun Lee with his left.

The highlight-reel catch capped a nine-play, 86-yard drive on Ohio State's first possession of the second half. Before his touchdown grab, Smith threw a 53-yard pass to reach the Iowa 4-yard line.

Last week against Michigan State, Smith made two one-handed catches against the same two Spartans defensive backs on Ohio State's final drive before halftime.

The first was a 27-yard jump throw between two MSU defenders. The second grab was for a touchdown after Smith beat his defender at the line and stormed past him to catch a throw from quarterback Will Howard.

The second one-hander gave the Buckeyes a touchdown and a 24-7 lead by halftime.

Against Iowa, Smith has four catches for 89 yards and a touchdown, along with a 14-yard rush.
