Christian Smith Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Harrison got the W thanks in part to Christian Smith playing the best football he has all season. Smith wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks and making six total tackles. The matchup was his sixth straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Smith must have McEachern's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Smith last faced the Indians back in October of 2023, he made 14 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
