Regardless of your personal feelings about ESPN, it is one of the leading sources when it comes to college football opinions and analysis. Holly Rowe has been on football sidelines reporting for the worldwide leader in sports for a long time and recently visited Columbus for an Ohio State practice. Let’s just say, she really likes what she sees.
Rowe recorded a video from her car sitting outside of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center and gave her thoughts. Brief as they were, she had nothing but high praise for what she had just witnessed. She gave an assessment of what Buckeye fans already know in that C.J. Stroud is really good and there is an embarrassment of riches at wide receiver.

Just got my first look at the Buckeyes. Way too early but Honest assessment. @OhioStateFB

We know it’s only August and the team still has to prove itself on the field. We’ve heard Ryan Day and Jim Knowles say they feel the defense is progressing nicely, but let’s be honest, it’s encouraging news to hear someone from the outside liking what they see on the defensive side of the ball.
We’ll see how accurate Rowe’s assessment is in less than two weeks when Notre Dame comes to town to kick off the Buckeye football season.
