With just over five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of the College Football Playoff Semifinals, Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud steps up to the line of scrimmage for a critical third down and long.
The Buckeyes know what they need: a field goal gives them a six-point lead, while a touchdown puts them up two scores. The problem is that the ball sits at the 32 yard-line, likely outside of kicker Noah Ruggles’ range.
