    No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 3 Oregon caps a packed Week 7 schedule in college football as two Big Ten programs meet in what could be the game of the regular season.

    Geno Smith isn’t the only member of the Seahawks at Autzen Stadium on Saturday, as fellow wide receiver and former Ohio State star Jaxon Smith-Njigba will also be in attendance. Smith-Njigba, who finished with 1,541 receiving yards and eight touchdowns during his three years at Ohio State, was selected No. 20 overall by the Seahawks in the 2023 NFL Draft.
