Of course, Brown was referring to Jeremiah Smith, the Ohio State wide receiver who broke the internet with a one-handed touchdown catch against Michigan State.

Smith's catch garnered reactions from LeBron James, Paris Johnson Jr., Parris Campbell, Johnnie Dixon, Jamarco Jones, Maurice Clarett and more on Saturday, with all of them sharing their adoration for the 18-year-old freshman.

Before Smith made his one-handed catch on the 18-yard touchdown, he made another impressive snag for 27 yards to keep Ohio State's final drive of the second quarter moving. Smith also scored on an 18-yard touchdown run earlier in the second frame.

Smith has six total touchdowns in four games for the Buckeyes, a number that leads Ohio State's wide receivers. Emeka Egbuka and Carnell Tate are the only other receivers to collect touchdowns this season, with Egbuka scoring against Marshall and Tate scoring against Akron.
