Other QBs that earned good grades for their performances were Bryce Young (Alabama), Jordan Travis (Florida State), Austin Reed (WKU), and K.J. Jefferson (Arkansas).
Stroud was not able to lead his team to win in their bowl game, but the future is definitely looking bright for Ohio State. The Buckeyes lost 42-41 after a missed field goal late in the fourth quarter, but will have players like Marvin Harrison Jr returning for 2023.
Penn State won its first meeting with Utah 35-21 on Monday under Clifford’s guidance.
