A shootout has broken out in Pasadena. Unfortunately, the Buckeyes started out a little slow and are continuing to have to go blow for blow with a Utah team that hasn’t been able to be contained on offense so far.
However, it isn’t for a lack of trying by Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He already caught a long touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud earlier in the game, and now he has another one to try and tighten things up again.
Watch as Stroud finds Smith-Njigba over the middle, then lets him follow some blocks all the way to the end zone 52-yards away for the score.
Ohio State keeps trying to keep pace with Utah. C.J. Stroud hits JSN again, this time on a 52-yarder. #RoseBowl https://t.co/skbNYR1GHh

Unfortunately, as has been the case all game long, Utah came right back and scored quickly on a long quarterback run. The Buckeyes still trail and have a lot of work to do on defense if they are going to claw their way back.
