Cruises to blowout win Stroud completed 21 of his 26 passes for 361 yards and a 6:1 TD:INT ratio in Saturday's 49-20 win over Michigan State.

Impact Stroud notched his most prolific passing outing of the season outside of the Buckeyes' Week 3 win over Toledo, tossing a season-high six touchdown passes. The junior connected with 6-foot-4 wideout Marvin Harrison (seven receptions, 131 yards) for three scores before being subbed out for backup Kyle McCord late in the third quarter. Stroud did commit his third turnover in three games with an interception returned for a touchdown early in the first quarter. The 6-foot-3 signal-caller has now thrown 24 passing touchdowns through six games this season, and he'll have a week off before taking on Iowa's stingy pass defense in Columbus.

Held in check in win Stroud completed 13 of his 22 passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns to one interception during Saturday's 49-10 win over Rutgers.

Impact Stroud registered his choppiest all-around passing performance of the season Saturday, finishing with season-lows in passing yardage and completion percentage (59.1 percent). The Scarlet Knights' dedicated passing defense also held the junior signal-caller to his second-lowest yards per attempt (7.0) of the 2022 campaign. However, Stroud's interception early in the second half didn't cost the Buckeyes much thanks to running back Miyan Williams' record-setting rushing performance (21 rushes, 189 yards, five rushing touchdowns). The prolific passer should return to form against Michigan State's porous pass defense next week in East Lansing.
