It’s been a see-saw battle so far in Minneapolis between Minnesota and Ohio State. OSU went up 10-0 to start, but the Golden Gophers scored 17 unanswered to take a 17-10 lead into halftime.
Since then, the two teams have traded big plays. The latest came through the air from freshman quarterback C.J. Stroud, his second touchdown pass of the day as he hit a wide-open Garrett Wilson for a 56-yard score to give the Buckeyes a 24-21 lead.
Take a look at some great patience and a soft throw right into the breadbasket of Wilson who ran an excellent route to gain separation from the Golden Gopher defender.
Ohio State answers again. This time C.J. Stroud hits a wide open Garrett Wilson for a 56-yard TD. OSU takes 24-21 lead. https://t.co/XcuN6BFQ71

There’s still a long way to go at Huntington Bank Stadium, but Ohio State is starting to find its way through all the fight Minnesota is putting up.
