Straight to business for Jeremiah Smith after becoming the all-time Big Ten receiving TD leader #CFB
Jeremiah Smith falls backward into the end zone with the ball, gets up and tosses it away. Teammates approach to celebrate. He keeps walking, adjusting his mouthguard as the camera closes in.
The commentator calls it a "record-setting touchdown." CFB ON FOX's title identifies the milestone as the Big Ten's all-time receiving touchdown record, but the moment that gives this short clip its character comes after the catch: Smith offers no celebration of his own.
The NBC broadcast footage has passed 400,000 views on CFB ON FOX, with a first-day audience more than twenty times the channel's usual Shorts start. It is a highlight built as much around what the receiver doesn't do as what he does.
Ohio State's upset loss to USC supplies the context. In the comments, viewers repeatedly interpret Smith's response as putting the team's situation ahead of an individual achievement. Others discuss urgency late in the game and question Ohio State's clock management. Those are viewers' readings; Smith doesn't explain his reaction in the clip.
The game also produced another unusually fast-starting upload for the channel, featuring Lincoln Riley after USC's victory over No. 2 Ohio State. Here, though, the entire story fits into a catch, a walk and the broadcast's succinct observation: "Straight to business."
