C.J. Stroud had almost as much time Sunday as Jalen Milroe had on Saturday before throwing the game-winning touchdown pass in the Iron Bowl.
The Houston Texans’ rookie QB gave extending a play new meaning against the Jacksonville Jaguars before finding Tank Dell for a touchdown.
If you are counting — or don’t have a stopwatch — it was nearly 9 seconds.
