Ohio State’s catalyst has been the play of quarterback C.J. Stroud. He was not quite perfect, but that is only because he had one lone incompletion that came on a play where he got rid of the ball.

At the end of the first, Stroud finished 16-for-17 for 241 yards and 3 touchdowns. He becomes the first B1G QB with a 200-yard first quarter since 2004.

Stroud’s favorite target in the early going has been Garrett Wilson with 5 catches for 108 yards and a touchdown. Chris Olave has not been far behind with 4 catches for 82 yards and 2 touchdowns. Olave also became the program’s all-time leader in receiving touchdowns during that incredible quarter.

Early in the second quarter, Stroud completed his next pass for his 4th touchdown of the first halve. At 28-0 early, this is already a blowout for the Buckeyes.
