QB CJ Stroud (All B1G, 2022 B1G QB of the Year, All-American, NFL OROY, Houston Texans)

[Mr.Blonde]

I didn't notice a high throw, which seemed to be a lot of the problem.

After outdueling Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral in a meeting of Heisman Trophy favorites Saturday, Alabama quarterback Bryce Young returned to the top spot as favorite for the award, per BetMGM.

Young (+120) passed for 241 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the 42-21 win over the Rebels. He was +185, slightly behind Corral, entering the weekend.

Corral (+210) still has the second-best odds for the award. Both are followed by Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder (+800) and Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud (+2500), each of whom saw their odds jump after big performances on Saturday.

Michigan State running back Kenneth Walker III (+3000) has the best odds of any non-quarterback. He leads the country with 680 rushing yards through five games.

An entity with College in its name should use the NCAA formula for passing efficiency, not the NFL’s.

It was 266.2 using the NCAA formula, per Land Grant Holy Land’s stats.

Respectfully, isn’t their whole thing to translate the college performance to the pros by grading with the pros scale?

His accuracy was pinpoint. The over the shoulder throw to JSN was a thing of beauty. Kudos to the OL who did a stellar job.

Controversy over.

Amen. CJ put together an excellent game from start to finish. No high throws and a ton of velocity on the ball when needed, but also great touch throws. That right there is what is fans were all hoping for from CJ. Hopefully he just needed the confidence boost and we'll see that type of play more normally.

 

[BuckeyeNation36]

I get the level of opponent but C.J. looked far more relaxed and confident. Encouraged.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

As many have noted….the Rutgers game should hopefully give CJ a huge shot of confidence at a position that absolutely requires it.

Day handled this perfectly.

 

[RugbyBuck]

I'm impressed that he played the way he did after a pretty solid day from McCord. Didn't seem to be chasing that and over-thinking what he was doing.

Buckeyes quarterback C.J. Stroud regaining national spotlight, Big Ten awards

Stroud was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the third time this season. It was the fifth consecutive week that an Ohio State freshman won the award.

In past years they have seemed to go out of their way to spread that award (and other awards) around. This year, the Buckeye quarterbacks (and Treyveon) aren't really giving them much choice in the matter.

 

[Jaxbuck]

As good as I think they can still be this year, OSU is going to be hell on wheels in '22 and '23.

Just look at all the freshmen standing out already on both sides of the ball.
