Former Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud takes jab at Michigan sign-steal scandal ahead of The Game: Buckeye Breakfast

COLUMBUS, Ohio — C.J. Stroud didn’t want to rehash his Ohio State football career earlier this season when it came to his losses to Michigan, even with the sign-stealing allegations.

The former Buckeye quarterback instead chose to keep the focus on his first season with the Texans, which through 10 games has him as the front runner for Offensive Rookie of the Year. He took the stance of letting the past be the past while living with the disappointment of never getting a win in the rivalry.

He didn’t take that same route the second time the topic of discussion came up.

Stroud has become a media darling of late thanks to a rookie season that has already had him break two different records while throwing for 2,982 yards and 17 touchdowns. That comes with attention, like constantly being a guest on podcasts and talk shows. Last week he sat down with Tom Brady on the soon-to-be Hall of Fame quarterback’s podcast “Let’s Go,” where the two made a bet on the outcome of The Game.
