Summary
During a chaotic 2020 college football season, Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud spent most of his time on the bench as an understudy to Justin Fields. Now the redshirt freshman has not only stepped into the starting position, but has guided the Buckeyes to one of their best offensive seasons in school history -- and made a strong case for himself as a Heisman Trophy candidate. In the wake of the Buckeyes' destruction of Michigan State on Saturday, The Athletic's Bill Landis joins us to discuss what exactly makes Stroud so special as a passer, the unique bond he has formed with his star wide receiver trio, and what stands between Ohio State and a 2021 national championship.
