SINCE HIGH SCHOOL, Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud has kept a routine after every game, no matter the outcome.
"For an hour, when the families are mingling and eating, he won't eat, he won't really talk, until he's reviewed all the footage of that [game] film," Stroud's mother, Kimberly, told ESPN. "I'm like, 'Son, why don't you just put that away?' [He replies], 'No, this is what I have to do.'"
By late afternoon Nov. 26, Stroud had started his painstaking probe of Ohio State's 45-23 home loss to Michigan.
