I had never seen Justin Zwick or TroySmith play a game in HS but the consensus was JZ was prepared to play QB and Smith wasn't. Let's slow the roll before we anoint someone.

And Troy wasn't ready in 2002. There's a reason that he began his Buckeye career as a kick returner as a redshirt freshman in 2003. He really wasn't ready in 2004, but Zwick was so bad (and injured) that Tressel had no choice but to play Troy. After a few rough games, Troy suddenly came of age against Michigan. It happens that way sometimes.

As far as Martell is concerned ... he has a great high school résumé, but I don't think anyone has "anointed" him as anything. He's going to show up with a black stripe on his helmet just like everybody else.
