QB
J.T. Barrett |

The
stated goal is to have a starting
quarterback named by the first
game. It will be the sensational
J.T. Barrett, who stepped in
as a freshman and wowed the
nation last fall or big Cardale
Jones, who stepped in for the
playoff title run after Barrett
got injured. The original quarterback
and multi-year All-Conference
player Braxton Miller has been
moved to a receiver position.
The Buckeyes will continue to
dominate up front. This is a
physical ball club. The schedule
is one of the worst in the country
until the last two ball games
so expect to see Ohio State
at the top of the polls all
year long. Head coach Urban
Meyer has trademarked this season
as "The Grind," and
Ohio State will face the same
pressures as any other defending
national champion. Yet this
team might be better equipped
for another run, this time from
the driver's seat.
