LeBron James emphatic on Ohio State’s dramatic Rose Bowl victory

Ohio State has been in tremendous form this year. However, they fell short against Michigan State during the Big Ten Conference Championship game. Yet, they did not let the Rose Bowl slip away. The quarterback CJ Stroud took to his responsibility and hurled for an enormous 573 yards and six touchdowns during the game.

The exciting part is that he did so in just three-quarters of the game. Ohio State saw a slow start since Utah took the lead by 14-0 at the first quarter. But the resilience and competitiveness by QB CJ Stroud paid off as he started hurling the football with unparallel precision.

“It’s emotional for me,” said Stroud. “It’s like I’m dreaming right now. I was able to come home and win the Rose Bowl like this. … This is the Rose Bowl, man. This is where the legendary games are being played.”

It was a dramatic victory for Ohio State. Since going into the fourth quarter, they trailed Utah by 38-31. It seemed as if Utah were about to grasp the Leishman Trophy, but the last quarter blast by CJ snatched the title out of the hands of Utah. It is definitely a proud moment for the youngsters and Ohio fans, like LeBron James.
