CJ Stroud reveals how he spent bye week
A bye week can be a welcome sight for college football programs across the country. Several weeks spent playing high-level football means a week of extra rest can hold so much value for a roster. Ohio State spent last week on bye, but that didn’t mean CJ Stroud spent any time away from football.
Stroud talked about how he spent his bye week during media on Wednesday. While he didn’t play football last week, he still consumed plenty of it by watching his friends and other players compete on Saturday.

“I watched a couple games and seen what was going on around college football,” said Stroud. “I like sitting there and watching games, seeing some of my friends play, some of the homies, some people I just like to watch play. A lot of my friends did well so I’m happy for them.”
After their 6-0 start, the Buckeyes used this extra time well before the second half of their season. In Stroud’s case, he used it as an opportunity to take notes, get fresh, and support his buddies across the NCAA. His attention will now turn to film for the Hawkeyes as Ohio State will return to the field this weekend against Iowa.

Here’s Klatt’s full list of Heisman candidates, as he revealed Wednesday:
- CJ Stroud, Ohio State
- Hendon Hooker, Tennessee
- Blake Corum, Michigan
- Dorian Thompson-Robinson, UCLA
- Bryce Young, Alabama
- Caleb Williams, USC
