Ohio State football: It’s time to sit C.J. Stroud

The Ohio State football team needs a change.

We’ve been hearing about it. He was even given a day off during preseason camp to rest it. He’s spoken of it after each of the Buckeyes’ first three games. C.J. Stroud has a shoulder problem and it may be time to sit him for a game to give it a break.

I’m not advocating benching him. Don’t misunderstand. I simply think this is a very good week to let Kyle McCord or Jack Miller (or both) handle the quarterback duties against Akron and allow Stroud and the training staff to work on getting that shoulder better.
