Georgia 42, Ohio State 41
Stroud’s stats: 23 of 34 for 348 passing yards and four passing touchdowns; 12 carries for 34 rushing yards
CJ Stroud is projected to be the top pick of the 2023 NFL draft in large part due to his impressive performance against Georgia. Stroud displayed mobility against the Bulldogs and carved up the Georgia defense in the first half of the College Football Playoff semifinals.
Stroud put wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in harm’s way with a lobbed pass to the back of the end zone. Harrison Jr. absorbed a massive hit from Georgia’s Javon Bullard and was forced to miss the rest of the contest.
Many scouts consider Stroud’s performance against Georgia to be the best of his career. Ohio State needed one more play to knock off the Bulldogs.
Thought C.J. Stroud had the best game of his career vs. Georgia. This play early on got him in rhythm. Great pocket movement, navigation, and finish on the throw. pic.twitter.com/UBqa1BUY3q
