CJ Stroud was absolutely electric in the first half of Saturday night’s Peach Bowl, gashing the defending national champion Georgia squad with 3 touchdowns before the break.

Coming out of halftime, the Buckeye quarterback was able to put in more work against the Bulldog defense. After the defense produced a quick 3-and-out against Kirby Smart’s offense, it was game-on for Stroud and the Buckeyes.

He led another steady offensive possession for Ohio State that churned down the field. This time around, it was a beautiful play design with play-action involved and Emeka Egbuka running a route underneath and back across the formation.
