CJ Stroud delivers perfectly placed deep bomb, gives Ohio State quick answer TD ahead of halftime

CJ Stroud is going all out in Ohio State’s Peach Bowl appearance. He delivered his third touchdown of the game just before halftime to give the Buckeye 28 points before the break.

The latest drive for the Buckeyes was a lightning strike from Ryan Day’s offense. The drive needed just 4 plays to cover 75 yards in short order with Stroud’s touchdown the big dagger.

Stroud found Xavier Johnson splitting two defenders down the middle of the field, and his throw was absolutely on the money. Johnson made a picturesque catch, and he punctuated the touchdown with a nifty spin move.
