Urban Meyer hints he may pick one QB and stick with him
Sometimes a great defense just isn’t enough. That is especially the case with the Buckeyes’ QB position. “I’m will not name companies in the team generally speaking, i just wonder if quite a handful of men weren’t as all set to use as these require to have been”. That doesn’t mean you get hooked. We will learn from this.
The drive that led to Hagan’s first field goal started at the Ohio State 29.
For the second straight game, Jones came out of the tunnel as the starter before getting replaced by Barrett when the offense got off to a sluggish start. It took an interception return for a touchdown by OSU linebacker Darron Lee to put the game away. Coach Urban Meyer says the matter is undecided because Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett have not been impressive through three games. If they score 50 points or 5 points, we have a job to do, and its to go out there and limit points and keep the opponent out of the end zone.. We’re upset about losing the game.
QUOTE TO NOTE: “We’ve got the mindset that if we have to win 3-0, we’ll win 3-0”. I’m proud of the defense, the offense and all three phases of the game. Give them credit.

“The whole defense played really well”. The more disruptive he is, the easier it his for his teammates to make plays. “We expect much, much higher execution on offense”. He didn’t. He’s completing less than 50 percent of his passes and has thrown one touchdown pass to two interceptions.
– SS Vonn Bell was a preseason All-American and has played like one so far, anchoring a strong Ohio State secondary.

Heading into halftime, the score was tied at 10-10 as neither team was able to take control of the game.
Ohio State turned the ball over a total of five times, and it was a pair of early interceptions that forced Meyer to pull Jones. Three plays later, Aregeros Turner made it 7-0 NIU on a 5-yard sweep.
Corn Elder intercepted a pass from Nebraska’s Tommy Armstrong at the goal line on the first play of overtime, and the Cornhuskers added to their problems by having an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty tacked on the end of that play. Can the Buckeyes get back on track? “Obviously, everybody is going to play “odd” against us now that we’ve shown we struggle against it”.
