Michigan Alum Rich Eisen Rebuts Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith's No-Loss Guarantee

Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith boldly promised he would never lose to Michigan again during his college career, a statement that has added fuel to the intense rivalry between the two programs. Michigan alum and NFL analyst Rich Eisen responded to Smith's guarantee with a succinct one-word reply, "Noted," while also acknowledging Smith's exceptional talent and status as one of Ohio State's best receivers. Eisen pointed out that Michigan has won four straight games against Ohio State, and he expects the Wolverines' 2025 team to be even stronger than their 2024 squad. Smith, who signed an NIL deal with Adidas despite Ohio State's partnership with Nike, had a standout freshman year, helping Ohio State win the national championship. The rivalry continues to build anticipation ahead of their November 29, 2025 matchup, with both sides exchanging barbs and setting the stage for another chapter in the historic series. The ongoing competition highlights not only the personal stakes for players like Smith but also the broader dynamics of one of college football's most storied rivalries.
