Despite all of that, the Buckeyes were able to weather the storm and win a national title. Ohio State is looking to end its four-game losing streak against the Wolverines this season. If they are able to do that, a lot of fans in Columbus, Ohio will be very happy. But for now, Smith and all of the other players on the current Buckeyes roster can feel the tense hatred for the Wolverines.
Ohio State Buckeyes Wide Receiver Jeremiah Smith Describes How He Feels About the Michigan Wolverines

A lot of people from Ohio State do not like Michigan. Well, Smith is also not a fan of the Wolverines. He recently said,
“Hate. You know. With everything in me, I hate them.”
Smith is not the only player on the Buckeyes roster who feels this way as well. Even with Ohio State having high expectations this season, one of the number things will be for them to end its four-game losing streak against Michigan.

What will this fanbase and Smith have to say if Michigan beats them once again? There is already a lot of bad blood between the players and the fans of these two college football programs. There is nothing wrong with Smith expressing how he feels also.
