Georgia had erased a 21-7 deficit in Saturday’s Peach Bowl to take a three-point lead nearing halftime.
Ohio State fans had to be concerned as the Buckeyes were behind after allowing 17 straight points.
C.J. Stroud took control and calmed the fears — for a while. He led a four-play, 75-yard drive that took only 55 seconds.
The scoring play came when Stroud found Xavier Johnson for a 37-yard TD and it gave Ohio State a 28-24 lead at the break.
Stroud had a great half, going 15-of-19 for 238 yards and 3 TD passes against the vaunted Georgia defense.
Marvin Harrison Jr. had 5 catches for 106 yards and a pair of TDs for Ohio State.
