Five bold predictions for Ohio State against Akron

After some pretty big news, we had to change up our five bold predictions for the Akron game.

Look for quarterback Quinn Ewers to get a few snaps late

Many in and around the program believe the future of the Ohio State quarterback position sits squarely on top of the shoulders and golden mullet locks of 5-star freshman Quinn Ewers. He wasn’t even supposed to be at OSU this season, but here he is as a reclassified 2021 prospect that’s already taking advantage of some pretty lucrative money via the new NIL legislation.

Ryan Day has already stated that he’s not been on campus enough or gotten the reps in practice to be considered for extensive playing time with Stroud on the bench, saying it would be “nearly impossible” to get Ewers ready for this one.

But, that doesn’t mean we won’t see him at all. Remember, a kid can play in up to three games and still retain redshirt status, so why not give the people what they want? Watch for Ewers to trot out there and dip his young toes in the FBS college football waters late in the game, but not for long.

Remember, these are bold predictions, right?
