If any doubt remained as to whether Buckeye quarterback C.J. Stroud is the real deal, his performance in the Rose Bowl put the critics to rest. But with several key players opting out as they head to the NFL, Stroud wasn’t the only Buckeye to show up in a big way in Saturday’s phenomenal 48-45 victory over Utah.
None stepped up more than sophomore wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, whose lights-out performance will carry me through to next season.
