The Ohio State football team will be ushering in a new starting quarterback this season. I mean, with Justin Fields becoming the savior of the Chicago Bears and all (so we hope).
And while it is supposed to be a three quarterback race between freshmen C.J. Stroud, Jack Miller, and Kyle McCord, it seems Pro Football Focus already has its mind made up on who will get the starting nod, and it’s Fields’ de facto backup from last season, Stroud.
We tend to agree at this point, but Ryan Day and staff have gone out of their way to proclaim and reiterate that it is an open competition and that all three are in the mix for earning the starting spot.
No matter. Anthony Treash of PFF went ahead and took Stroud as the starter and ranked him amongst the rest of the 130 FBS starters. And … you may be more surprised than a coherent Jim Harbaugh answer at a press conference as to where he landed. We wonder if we want to put too much stock in a writing crew that said Ryan Day was NOT one of the best 20 coaches in college football, but we digress.
