Ohio State is undefeated, 2-0.

It hasn’t exactly been overly dominant, or even pretty at times. But the Buckeyes look the part of a top 5 team in the country. Yet still, the criticism flows and quarterback CJ Stroud has heard plenty of it.

Does he care? Not particularly.

“We’re winning at the end of the day,” Stroud said, via Cleveland.com. “Of course, we want to clean some things up, but I’m not gonna be negative when we’re winning. Now, if it was closer then yeah, I’d be pissed. But at the end of the day, we’re winning. If you don’t like it, cool. I don’t care.”

Stroud has looked the part this season. He threw for 351 yards and 4 touchdowns against Arkansas State Saturday and totaled 223 yards and 2 yards against then-No. 5 Notre Dame. He has yet to throw an interception through Week 2.

The Buckeyes are back in action next week against Toledo.
