"I watched the OSU starting QB against Notre Dame. Looked above average"
ND was the best at limiting Stroud in a game this year -- since you have not watched them since, he is the leading candidate for the Heisman, and his season stats back it up. He is probably, the best QB in the nation right now (I have not seen the kid from Tennessee either, and I know Young's stats are not that stellar this year). But, this kid throws the best ball I have seen form anyone this year so far. He has touch, accurate, and puts the ball in the best spot for the receiver.
