Ohio State answers Georgia’s 17-point surge with C.J. Stroud passing TD
Georgia had erased a 21-7 deficit in Saturday’s Peach Bowl to take a three-point lead nearing halftime.
Ohio State fans were concerned after the Buckeyes allowed 17 consecutive points.
C.J. Stroud took control and calmed the fears — for a while. The drive, which was four-play and 75-yards long took 55 seconds.
Stroud found Xavier Johnson at 37 yards for a touchdown. This gave Ohio State a lead of 28-24 at the break.
Stroud was great in the second half. He went 15-of-19 for 238 yard and 3 TD passes, against the vaunted Georgia defense.
Marvin Harrison Jr. had five catches for 106 yard and a pair TDs at Ohio State.
