While I don't disagree that we need better QB play, you can't compare us to one of the top programs in the country. Many of these top programs have very good QB's who never/hardly ever get to play. Matt Cassel threw 20 passes in his college career.

Truth. Of course, Urban Meyer ain't too bad at coaching 'em up either.
 



It's so beautiful. Please keep scoring.
 



Much easier drive from Columbus and they had six weeks - not six days - to snap up tickets

Wrong, the UW fans all claimed for weeks they were the best and Iowa and Minnesota were no obstacle to winning the title. The fact is the UW fans did not believe in their team.

Madison is 340 miles from Indy, and Columbus OH is 310 miles away. Driving through Chicago is easy if you time it right.

The UW fans are all frauds, they had every chance to buy tickets early and show up on in force and did not. To make worse tons of UW grads live in Chicago, since Milwaukee and Madison do not offer the opportunities that Chicago and also the Twin Cities offer.
 

FSU vs Ga Tech is a much better game but I can't stop watching the wisconsin beat down....
 

Any chance Cardale Jones transfers? Too soon to speculate???

He may never see the field after this year at tOSU...

Why not? The Gophers were almost in this game. We should be able to find at least 1 QB compared to Ohio States 3.

We're an "up and coming" program, not a top program right now. Great programs are considered great because of long term success. Not just one or two good seasons.

And it takes a few years for the recruiting to catch up to the success. These back up QB's who are playing extremely well for OSU were recruited several years ago before we starting having success.

Again, I'm not making excuses for our QB play. It needs to get better.

He's a redshirt sophomore so it's probably more likely that he sticks his junior year at OSU and graduates and then transfers for his senior year.
 

Badginas are a friggin embarassment!!!

Crazy to think that OSU has 3 QBs now that could arguably start for any number of Big 5 conference teams.

Crazier to think any one of them would want to ride the pine in the future.

Columbus is 175 miles away from Indy, nearly half as far away as Madison.
 

GT has them right where they want 'em. 10 min game winning TD drive
 




Can't believe they went for that. Wow.
 

Why would GT go for it there? I would get it if it was 4th and 2 but not 4th and 6.

Yep. Where are all the Leidner apologists? This is not anything against Mitch, more so the coaching staff. You have to go find a competent QB. I do not expect tOSU level recruits, but come on...this is their 3rd string QB. It is amazing to watch competent QB play.

Also, nice to see the real Joel Stave show up...

Please re-read my statement and pay particular attention to the text in bold. Thanks in advance...

Graduates? Remember, Cardale Jones ain't come to play school.
 

Meanwhile in New Orleans Tulane is driving with 50 seconds left for the tying score with Temple. Oh wait......wrong thread. ;)

I did not realize that he was the guy that said that. Now I wonder if he's on pace to graduate. If he isn't on pace to graduate then he should transfer. If he is going to graduate then he should wait and be a graduate transfer.

Odd decision. Talk about having less than zero confidence in your defense. Wow. But you would've had to stop them at some point anyway. Even if you score a TD, there's likely a couple min left. Why not punt and try to make your big stand there -- and possibly flip field position.
