College football Week 4 preview: Can anyone stop Ohio State freshman Jeremiah Smith?

FOX Sports' "Big Noon Kickoff" crew travels to Columbus, Ohio, this weekend as the No. 3-ranked Buckeyes get set to host Marshall in a Week 4 non-conference matchup (12 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports App).

There are plenty of intriguing storylines surrounding this Ohio State team, including the play of freshman wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, who has taken the college football world by storm in his first two games. The top-ranked prospect in the 2024 class has made an immediate impact in Columbus, hauling in 11 catches for 211 yards and three touchdowns in his first two collegiate games. Will the Buckeyes' freshman wideout be able to put together another memorable performance this weekend against a Marshall team that is off to a 1-1 start?

There are several other eye-catching matchups across the country in Week 4, including No. 12 Utah's trip to Stillwater to battle No. 14 Oklahoma State in a Big 12 showdown. Meanwhile, No. 18 Michigan, fresh off making a quarterback change, will welcome No. 11 USC to the Big House in an early-season Big Ten matchup.

FOX Sports college football writers Laken Litman, Michael Cohen and RJ Young are here to preview the biggest storylines heading into Week 4.

No. 3 Ohio State hosts Marshall in a Week 4 non-conference matchup before kicking off Big Ten play the following weekend. What are you looking to see from Ryan Day's team in this game?

Laken Litman: Ohio State needs to stay sharp and avoid the kind of disaster Notre Dame experienced in Week 2. Marshall might be an inferior opponent, but the Buckeyes can't overlook this week, especially with Big Ten games beginning next week.
