In one of the least surprising announcements of the spring, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said the quarterback competition would continue into the fall.
Cardale Jones and Stephen Collierr will take the bulk of the reps during the annual Scarlet and Gray scrimmage on Saturday; J.T. Barrett and Braxton Miller will be held out of the game completely.
"I don't know who our quarterback is going to be (this fall),” Meyer said adding that the subject of his quarterback rotation would be an "Aug. 15-type question."
Meyer did note that Barrett, who is recovering from ankle surgery, has progressed far quicker than anyone expected and that he’s already participated in some two-minute drills during spring practices. Miller’s rehab has been a little quieter. Meyer said the rehabilitation was going well, but that he didn’t have a timetable for Miller to return to regular football drills. Miller did throw some very short passes during the early part of spring football.
While Jones became a houeshold name after leading the Buckeyes to a national title, Collier is almost the forgotten piece in Ohio State’s quarterbacking race. He redshirted last season, but did a masterful portrayal of Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota while the Buckeyes were preparing for national championship game. However, it will be difficult for him to see the field this year with so much talented traffic ahead of him.
