"Don't know what else you can do": Jeremiah Smith beating off triple coverage leaves Pat McAfee in awe and worried for Texas 

The College Football Playoff semifinals are beginning and the Cotton Bowl could become an instant classic. With the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Texas Longhorns battling it out, stars like wide receiver Jeremiah Smith for the Buckeyes could wind up being the difference.

While breaking down the Texas Longhorns vs. Ohio State Buckeyes playoff semifinal game on Wednesday's edition of "The Pat McAfee Show", host Pat McAfee discussed how true freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith can dominate and control the game.

"Chip Kelly has been cooking getting the ball into [Jeremiah Smith's] hands. Nobody is going to be able to stop that guy and you gotta just hope to contain him, Texas obviously has talent across the board. That's triple-teamed (seeing a catch by Smith), I don't know what else you can do. There isn't a better coverage that you can draw up or call... There's a reason why they are the odds-on favorite to win the national championship."

Jeremiah Smith has dominated in his first two games of the playoff. Against the Tennessee Volunteers and Oregon Ducks, he had 13 receptions for 290 yards and four touchdowns. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian will need to focus on what Smith can do in the passing game if they want to be competitive here.

Jeremiah Smith is ready for the NFL

Jeremiah Smith has been one of the true few superstars who could make the jump from college football to the pros right away. However, he is not eligible for the NFL draft until 2027 as he is a true freshman. NFL analysts, such as ESPN's Dan Orlovsky, have made it known that Jeremiah Smith is expected to be a bonafide superstar.

On "Get Up" on January 2, Orlovsky made it known that Smith is going to be coveted when he is eligible for the NFL draft.

"No. 1 pick, it wouldn't even be close. He would easily be the No. 1 pick in this year's draft. You will have teams in two years, for that '27 draft, tanking for him."

As a true freshman, Jeremiah Smith has 70 catches for 1,224 yards (17.5 yards per reception) with 14 receiving touchdowns as well as five rushing attempts for 52 yards (10.4 yards per carry) and a touchdown.
