College Football Playoff QBs reveal best Christmas gifts besides national title hopes

College Football Playoff quarterbacks are gearing up for semifinal action on New Year’s Eve. Before that action gets rolling, the QBs enjoyed some holiday festivities around Christmas.

ESPN also got together with each QB to ask a very important question. What is the ultimate Christmas gift they ever received?

For Ohio State, star QB Cj Stroud revealed his favorite gift was a basketball court when he was in the second or third grade. Stroud even said basketball “was my first love” growing up.

Max Duggan TCU’s star leader, remembered receiving an electric 4-wheeler growing up. “When I was a little 4-year-old, I got one of those electric 4-wheelers,” said Duggan.

Georgia’s Stetson Bennett particularly enjoyed a pair of Hulk Hands growing up. “When you fought people, it sounded cool,” said Bennett about the smashing hands.

Michigan’s JJ McCarthy went another route. “This may be cliche or cheesy, but peace on Earth would be my ultimate Christmas present,” McCarthy admitted.

Now, the QBs will prepare for a return to the field this Saturday. TCU and Michigan will get the semifinal action started in the Fiesta Bowl at 4 pm ET, and Georgia and Ohio State will square off at 8 pm ET in the Peach Bowl.

All of the game coverage will air on ESPN as fans find out who will face off for the national championship.
