CHANGES IN OHIO STATE QUARTERBACK ROOM INCLUDE CARDALE JONES SITTING IN BRAXTON MILLER'S SEAT, BUT MISSION REMAINS SAME

Obviously, the feeling was going to be a little bizarre at first.

Braxton Miller, Ohio State's two-time Big Ten Player of the Year, occupied a seat in the Buckeye quarterback room for four long years. For essentially three of them, he was the man atop the depth chart once he took over his freshman season in 2011 until he suffered a second torn labrum in his throwing shoulder last August.

That's a lot of days when Miller's rear end resided in a certain seat within the hallowed walls of the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Those days are no more.

"Do I miss it? It's just weird," Cardale Jones said when asked if he missed Miller's presence in the team's quarterback room. "I'm sitting in his spot now. It's kind of weird. We kind of have assigned spots."

Cardale Jones Was Thrown into the Fire and Came Out a Changed Man

15-01-12-FB-0451.jpg


Before starting against Alabama last year, as Cardale Jones prepared for the biggest game of his career, the quarterback had to reflect back. He likely took time to think through his stretch at Ohio State and realized that this was the moment he could seize.

After nearly three years in Columbus, Jones’ most memorable play wasn’t on the football field. It was a tweet he put out without much thought that caught national attention.

Can't think of a player that I've been prouder of watching grow and mature off the field than Cardale. Perhaps TS, but that's it. I'm really hoping there's a Heisman in his future.

I agree. Also, in my (well over) 60 years of following Ohio State football I've only seen 3 QBs lead Ohio State to a National Championship; and Cardale was one of them (obviously Rex Kern and Craig Krenzel were the other 2). JT is a proven himself to be a very good quarterback; he did beat the Sept 2014 version of Cardale out for the starting QB spot last year. It really impressed me how JT put the team on his back and (almost single handedly) carried the team to an OT win last Oct in Happy Valley. However, we are now looking at the Sept 2015 version of Cardale, he definitely proved himself in coming up a winner in the 3 biggest games of the year last season. I have no idea how JT would have done against Wisky, Alabama, and/or Oregon. He may of won those games to; however, Cardale did win those games...bigtime.
