Summary

On this Tuesday Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means talk about the four Heisman Trophy finalists announced Monday night: Alabama QB Bryce Young, Michigan DE Aidan Hutchinson, Pitt QB Kenny Pickett, and Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud. This is the third OSU quarterback in the last four years to make it to New York as a finalist, so what does that tell us? Is Stroud setting himself up for an even better Heisman run next season? What's the perception of the Buckeyes' QB? How does he compare to Justin Fields and Dwayne Haskins as Heisman finalists? And looking at the last 30 years of Ohio State starting quarterbacks, what does that tell us about Stroud next season? Thanks for listening to this Heisman Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com.
