On Saturday morning, ESPN College Gameday will be in Columbus for the showdown between seventh-ranked Penn State and third-ranked Ohio State.

Stroud was the second overall pick by the Texans in this past April’s draft and has had a hot start in his rookie year. Stroud has thrown for 1,600 yards, nine touchdowns to just one interception, and has a 96.4 passer rating through six games this season, leading Houston to a surprising 3-3 record.

In two seasons as the quarterback for Ohio State, Stroud threw for 8,123 yards and 85 touchdowns to 12 interceptions and won both of his starts against Penn State.
