C.J. Stroud has the Houston Texans at 3-3 during the bye week. What better way to stay fresh than to get out of town for a weekend?
The No. 2 overall pick returned to the site where he made his reputation as Stroud visited Ohio Stadium Saturday as the Ohio State Buckeyes take on Penn State.
Stroud dropped by the set of ESPN College GameDay for a visit. As is customary of any big name on set, Stroud provided his college picks for the weekend.
Thanks to NCAAF Nation on X (formerly Twitter) for keeping track, here are Stroud’s picks from College GameDay.
