As we all know, Miami fans wanted badly to keep Jeremiah Smith home. That never happened, and Smith has already spent two seasons at Ohio State.

But during today’s College Football Playoff Cotton Bowl press conferences, Smith admitted something that will grab the attention of Hurricanes fans.

Smith said that if Miami was where it is right now back when he signed with Ohio State, he believes he would’ve ended up at Miami.

Smith was asked, “If Miami had won more or played in games like this during your high school career, would you be a Hurricane right now?”

Here’s exactly what he said:

“Most likely, yeah, I’d have probably ended up at Miami if things were on the right track then. But I chose to stick with Ohio State.”

Now, Smith will get the chance to play against his home state when Ohio State faces Miami on December 31st in the College Football Playoff Cotton Bowl.

The lion doesn’t concern himself with sheeps. That traitor can wallow in Columbus with the L while his boys become immortalized in his city.

Okay all bull**** aside he had a great game and almost single handedly carried them to a W. But I hope he cries all night and regrets all his life choices
