Another week, another win for Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes in black. But the quarterback dilemma continues to rage on.
Before getting into the third page of the dictionary, I would like to relay a message to those fans who chanted “JT, JT, JT” at the game this past weekend – What do you think that does to Cardale’s confidence and psyche? Barrett played well, but it’s not like he threw the ball for 500 yards like a gunslinger. Everybody thought Jones was the guy after Virginia Tech and Maryland. Personally, Cardale is still my starter. 10-0 as a starter as a matter of fact. Also, the guy won Buckeye Nation a national championship, the first since the Craig Krenzel era…show respect where respect is due. It’s fine to think and want JT to start; he played well, but one half of football does not justify a depth chart change, IMO.
But let’s ask Urban what he thinks about it. After all, he is the head coach.
Urban said – “I just read we’re 6-for-6 in the red zone again, so that’s 12-for-12 the last 12 times we’ve been in there. First of all, it’s a lot of times in there, which is good. The second thing is just let me evaluate it, let you guys know on Monday, and go from there.”
As I said above, I’m still rolling with #TeamCardale, but I can see the case people are making.
Meanwhile just before kickoff in the blackened Horseshoe, the team up north just lost a heart-breaker to little brother, Michigan State.
Urban said – “I heard about it. I saw there was a fumbled punt or something like that as time ran out. This league is tough. The East Division, Big Ten, lot of respect for those teams.”

The Big Ten is for sure a lot better than it is given credit for by ESPN/the SEC Network.
When it boils down to picking a quarterback, Meyer hasn’t named one officially yet for the game at Rutgers, but…
Urban said – “I see the same thing that you see.”
Whether you are on Team Barrett or Team Cardale, for the sake of my sanity and the sanity of both players, keep your opinions about it civil and respectful without belittling the other guy.

- The Fans – The fans said all they had to say during the game. “JT, JT, JT!!!”
- The Media – How could you possibly not know by now that JT is the man for the job?
- The Players – Doesn’t matter who the quarterback is. Just look at those red zone stats.

- The Media – Are you saying that the Big Ten is better than the SEC? Anarchy! Call the police! Call the mayor! Alert the media! Oh wait…we are the media.
- The Players – Hahaha, Michigan suuuuuucks.
The Big Ten is for sure a lot better than it is given credit for by ESPN/the SEC Network.

Urban said – “I see the same thing that you see.”
- The Fans – Thank goodness our coach finally listened to us chanting for JT! #TeamBarrett FTW!
- The Media – We see that you still haven’t stuck with the same guy…why is that? It’s not like it could be because we keep on asking you each and every week is it?
- The Players – We’re seeing 7-0 and a chance to go 8-0.
