Ohio State and Utah just staged an absolute classic at the Rose Bowl in picturesque Pasadena, California. It was a back and forth affair that had more twists and turns than a Jim Harbaugh press conference. In the end, the Buckeyes were able to come back from a deficit and take care of business 48-45 on a Noah Ruggles game-winning kick after quarterback C.J. Stroud and receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba supplied New Year’s Day fireworks for most of the game.
But Utah had a lot of fight in them, and there’s no doubt that the Ute’s toughness, fortitude, and talent left an impression on the Ohio State players and coaches. It’s all driven by the culture head coach Kyle Whittingham has instilled in the program. He met with the media after the game to discuss what he saw from the game and touched on what he thought of Ohio State and quarterback C.J. Stroud.
In case you missed any of the comments, we’ve got them here for you thanks to YouTube Channel of NBC4 in Columbus. Click on the below and listen to Whittingham rave about C.J. Stroud, the talent of Ohio State, some of the decision-making in the game, and more.
