C.J. Stroud is picking up right where he left off last season against Michigan State’s poor pass defense. Stroud has thrown three touchdowns, and we’re barely just into the second quarter as Ohio State looks to win its first road contest of the year.
The latest touchdown pass came on a beautiful toss to an open Julian Fleming for a 51-yard strike. Fleming had to use some speed as he raced to the end zone before being dragged down while crossing the goal line to put the Buckeyes up 21-7.
Check out the long score that puts the Buckeyes ahead and then see how Twitter responded.

So glad to see Julian Fleming finally getting a chance to shine, he could have easily transferred out
