Ohio Bobcats football coach Brian Smith misspoke in an epically awful way ahead of a daunting matchup with the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes, referring to Caleb Downs and Jeremiah Smith as a receiving duo. Downs, of course, is the No. 1 DB in the country and a likely top-five 2026 NFL draft pick at this current rate.
Did an FBS coach in the state of Ohio really get that wrong by accident? Downs' name is likely coming up in offensive staff meetings, and it's hard to imagine Smith, the Bobcats' former passing game coordinator, is covering his ears and yelling "la la la, I can't hear you" during those meetings.
