Steve Sarkisian Compares Jeremiah Smith To Legendary NFL WR Before Ohio State Clash originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When the Texas Longhorns and defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes meet in a season‑opening showdown at Ohio Stadium on Aug. 30, it will mark only the fifth meeting in a series that is deadlocked at 2-2.

Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has received a very flattering NFL comparison from the Indiana Hoosiers' head coach.

Smith recently received a flattering comparison from Indiana coach Curt Cignetti, who went as far as to compare the young wideout to Julio Jones, the former Alabama standout and a likely future Pro Football Hall of Famer. Cignetti coached Jones for three years during his time as Alabama's receivers coach.
