Ohio State fans have been spoiled with good quarterback play in the last decade.
Craig Krenzel helped Jim Tressel win a national title in 2002 and a Fiesta Bowl in 2003, Troy Smith led the Buckeyes to a Fiesta Bowl win in 2005 and the championship in 2006, Todd Boeckman led OSU to the title game again in 2007, and Terrelle Pryor excelled from the day he stepped on campus, leading Ohio State to three BCS games, including two wins, during his time in Columbus.
Of course, fans of the Scarlet and Gray are enjoying Braxton Miller, recently named 2012 Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, and a front-runner to win the Heisman Trophy in the 2013 season.
Urban Meyer has brought in Cardale Jones in the recruiting class of 2012 and JT Barrett in the recruiting class of 2013, but at this point it is unknown if either will be able to carry the torch once Miller departs campus.
