C.J. Stroud Heisman hopes take huge hit in Ohio State blowout loss to Michigan

Your move, Caleb Williams. C.J. Stroud and #OhioState fell short in their biggest game of the year. #USC #Heisman

Saturday put two college football players in the center of the Heisman Trophy spotlight: Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud and USC’s Caleb Williams. Both men had the stage to themselves, several hours apart. Before Caleb Williams took the field for Saturday night’s game against Notre Dame, Stroud stepped onto the gridiron for Ohio State’s game against Michigan.

It did not go well for Stroud.

Ohio State lost to Michigan, and the Buckeyes did not look good. That was not the recipe Stroud wanted, but it’s what he and the Buckeyes will have to live with.

Michigan 45, Ohio State 23.

When Ohio State lost ground in the second half, Stroud had a chance to mount a comeback, but he couldn’t do it.
