WATCH: Jaxon Smigh-Njigba gets loose for an Ohio State touchdown
Ohio State has had trouble stopping the Utes offensive attack, but we thought that might be the case as this looks to be a shootout. No sooner did Utah go up 21-7, Ohio State came back with a 50-yard touchdown strike from C.J. Stroud to Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Smith-Njigba is the veteran on the receiving unit now and stepped up big time. Stroud found the OSU receiver with an opening and proceeded to stiff-arm his way into the end zone, making the score 21-14.
See Smith-Njigba get the score with effort and heart to keep the Buckeyes in the game midway through the second quarter.

Ohio State immediately gave up a 99-yard kick return for a score putting the Utes back up by two touchdowns. Still plenty of time left, but the Bucks need to get this one figured out soon.
