At any level of football, young quarterbacks have growing pains. On one play they’ll look amazing. On the next, they’ll leave you shaking your head and wondering, “What on earth is he doing?” Young quarterbacks are a mixed bag and Ohio State football team starter C.J. Stroud is no exception right now.

After struggling in the first half against Minnesota in the opening game, Stroud rebounded to throw for nearly 300 yards and four touchdowns. Against Oregon, he threw for 484 yards (second-most in OSU history) and did everything he could to keep the Buckeyes in the game.
