C.J. Stroud, other Heisman hopeful updated performances, odds – Week 3

It’s not a stretch to say that the Heisman Trophy is the most coveted individual award in all of American sports. Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud is one of the frontrunners to win the bronze statue, and we’ll be following along his journey all season.

It doesn’t take much to go from favorite to afterthought in today’s game, and one performance can make or break a Heisman campaign. We’ve seen it more than once where a guy is the run-away favorite only to have a bad outing or two and get lost in all the other stats and offensive abilities of others in today’s day and age.

Here at Buckeyes Wire, we are going to continue to look at where Stroud is and where he stands in regards to others trying to stiff-arm the competition and take home the venerable Heisman Trophy in 2022.

Here’s where things stand after Week 3 of the college football season and where the Ohio State signal-caller stands in trying to cement his place in history.
