Ohio State is not known as a quarterback factory. But the Buckeyes have never produced one quite like C.J. Stroud.
Not with his passes, which were reliably on time. C.J. Stroud placed catchable footballs into cracked and moving windows with a casual reliability Ohio State fans had never seen in their lives, whether they had just turned nine or 99. The Buckeyes have had plenty of big arms and accurate passers - but no one with a combination like this.
Stroud's legacy should be how he dropped passes into his NFL-caliber wide receivers' chests with precision and regularity. Stroud’s weakness was bad timing. The only division titles, conference titles and playoff wins he was able to experience in Columbus came with him on the bench and the Buckeye defense in something better resembling its traditional form. He did his part in a manner unmatched by his predecessors.
