What C.J. Stroud rushing performance means for Buckeyes moving forward

For just the second time as a collegian, Stroud ran for more yards (79) than he passed (76) — the other time was that Michigan State 2020 game in which, again, he did not throw a pass — and his standing nationwide improved. The reason is obvious. He did what he had to do to help Ohio State win. It's huge for the Buckeyes moving forward.
