His 10th catch of the game put him at 257 yards for the game.

Smith-Njigba broke four records this season in his breakout year for the Buckeyes. The Texan broke two in one game against the Utes.

Smith-Njigba broke Cris Carter's 37-year-old record bowl game receiving record in the first half with 185 yards. In the second half, he surpassed Glenn's 253 yard day against Pittsburgh in 1995.
