Ohio State beat Utah 48-45 thanks to some record breaking performances in one of the best Rose Bowl games of all-time. After enduring a physical drubbing by their rivals from up north, the first two series of the Rose Bowl made it feel like we were on the verge of another disappointing Ohio State performance. Then C.J. Stroud and Jaxon Smith-Njigba got in sync, leading to an explosive offensive performance unlike anything we’ve literally ever seen.
With the offense chasing two scores, all the Buckeyes needed was for the defense to make a few stops.
