The <b>Chaminade-Madonna Prep standout<\/b> chose <b>Ohio State over staying home<\/b> in a decision that drew national headlines during recruiting.<\/p>\n<p><b>Smith initially considered<\/b> staying loyal to Miami before ultimately committing to the Buckeyes.

Second-half adjustments from <b>Coach Ryan Day<\/b> will determine whether Ohio State can overcome Miami&#8217;s defensive intensity.<\/p>\n<p>With the <b>CFP semifinal berth<\/b> on the line, Ohio State&#8217;s offensive firepower featuring <b>Smith and Sayin<\/b> must sustain momentum.
