The Ohio State football squad is now halfway through fall preseason camp and things are starting to crystallize a little more. For head coach Ryan Day and the Buckeyes, by far the position battle that has the most eyes on it is the quarterback arms race to replace all-everything Justin Fields who’s now slinging the ball around with the Chicago Bears.
Day has said all along that he hopes to have a starter named in enough time in the preseason to move on and get his team ready to begin the season. That will give much-needed clarity to one of the most visible positions in college football. Because of that, we may be on the doorstep with the doorbell ringing of getting news on the starter under center at Ohio State.
We’re not quite there yet though, and Day stopped short of naming a starter earlier this week despite confirming that C.J. Stroud has begun to “separate” himself from the pack that consists of Jack Miller, Kyle McCord, and now true freshman sensation Quinn Ewers.
Before the bombshell news is dropped on who the starter is, we thought we’d do a little update as to where things stand with all of the OSU quarterbacks that are seemingly in the mix. Who is in the lead, what has to happen, and the final call.
So here we go, our attempt to clarify a little further this quarterback competition at THE Ohio State University.
