Did Cris Carter come up with moving Braxton Miller to wide receiver?

Barrett went as far to say Jones would be in his wedding someday during an interview with Danny Kanell on SportsCenter Monday. Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer called it “the most anticipated game ever to come” to Blacksburg, Virginia, via Fox Sports, and the university has even canceled classes for September 7 in anticipation of heavy “campus traffic loads”. He can falter, like he did in OSU’s loss against Virginia Tech, and bounce right back the next week. They are familiar with having a target on their back.

The Ohio State Buckeyes, coming off of their inaugural College Football Playoff Championship, are looking to repeat their result from 2014. What could become an issue for Ohio State in their title defense are the potential distractions of an unhappy star player or a split locker room.

They practice in pads for the first time Friday.

“Back in the spring of 2014, I was anxious about extra stuff where if [Cardale Jones] made a good play then I was like ‘wow, I’ve got to do this”, he said. “They’ll want to beat us down”.

“Currently Scout’s No. 5 defensive end and No. 32 player overall in the country, we felt Cooper justified those lofty rankings in Beaverton”.

The matchup is keeping the Buckeyes focused during fall camp. But just like the coin toss, the QB race remains a 50-50 proposition, with plenty of practices ahead of Jones and J.T. Barrett and no rush for the program to declare a victor.

“It’s a little bit of a work in progress”, Meyer said. If me and J.T. didn’t like each other, I would still compete with him.

Dixon is the better and quite a few refined large radio prospective client in which Meyer has hired and Brownish noticed a few activity overdue from the 2014 time of year. Making the second start of his career, Barrett completed just nine of 29 passes and threw one touchdown against three interceptions. “Pretty much for the most part, until he got hurt, he led his team to the national championship”.

Miller will get ample time to learn the ropes.

The Buckeyes return 14 starters from their title squad.

“Football position”, coach Urban Meyer repeated during one of several short speeches he gave.

That is one of the main reasons why it was so surprisingly unsurprising when Miller decided to eschew the chance to compete for the starting quarterback job (which he probably and rightfully would have lost) and switch positions in his final year as a Buckeye. But Barrett boasts the longer track record, the more accurate arm, the danger of a dual threat and the consistency factor.

Added one defensive coordinator: “He can definitely win a game with his legs….”
