Running backs dropping like flies, receiver Sebastian Smith steps up

Nothing seems to be going right if you’re an Ohio Bobcat running back these days, but at least the offense has wide-receiver Sebastian Smith to lean on.

Smith caught six balls for 108 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday’s 37-21 Ohio (2-2, 0-0 MAC) victory over Gardner-Webb (1-3, 0-0 Big South) at Peden Stadium. Smith caught a pair of 17-yard scores, one from starting quarterback Greg Windham in the first quarter and another in the second quarter from redshirt freshman quarterback Quinton Maxwell.

“I just gave [Smith] a chance and he goes up and makes plays,” Maxwell said.
