Good article on Todd's experience but lack of playing time. Coach Daniels discusses the impending battle between Todd and Robbie Schoenhoft for next season's starting spot.

Looking ahead to the Todd Boeckman era
By D.Laurant on November 9, 2006 01:29 AM
http://ohiostate.realfootball365.com/ If you're an Ohio State football fan, the last thing you want to talk about is next year.
Right now, your beloved Buckeyes are No. 1 in the nation and on the fast track to a national championship. QB Troy Smith is bearing down on the Heisman, and there are NFL prospects performing on both sides of the ball.
Barring an unpleasant reversal against Michigan or the inevitable BCS bowl, this could be one of the most memorable OSU football years ever draped in scarlet and gray.
But humor me. What happens next year when not only Smith, but his backup, Justin Zwick, are gone? Could Ted Ginn play quarterback?
Probably, but it won't be necessary. Although only two other Buckeye QBs have seen action this year -- Todd Boeckman and Robbie Schoenhoft, who have completed 3-of-3 passes for 24 yards -- Jim Tressel's team shows every indication of being able to reload.
Boeckman (6-foot-5, 235 pounds) and Schoenhoft (6-6, 244) are both pro-sized, strong-armed, reasonably mobile QBs, both Ohio bred. Their names used to pop up with more frequency on the Buckeye Web sites and chat rooms whenever Smith had a bad game, but they've been relatively ignored in the glow of a 10-0 record.
As a freshman in 2004, Boeckman got on the field for seven minutes of action in the Miami of Ohio game and completed a 42-yard touchdown pass to Ginn. He's from St. Henry, Ohio, which also sent former OSU QB Bobby Hoying to Columbus.
Schoenhoft played at St. Xavier in Mason, and attended the Elite 11 quarterback camp in California the summer after his senior year. He was good enough at basketball to compete at the national AAU level.
Meanwhile, freshman Antonio Henton is in storage. A product of Peach Valley High in Fort Valley, Ga., he was Player of the Year in Georgia after throwing for 2,117 yards and 30 touchdowns in '05. Nimble and quick, he's been compared to a guy named Troy Smith.
It should be an interesting spring. But, of course, Buckeye fans don't want to think about that now.

I am hoping we get a blowout this weekend and Boeckman gets some time, like maybe the entire fourth quarter. We need everyone healthy for next week and engineering a blowout early would only help us in all facets.

I don't think the whole fourth quarter. Justin Zwick has to get some time too, plus he's a senior. It would be nice if we can get Troy out in the 3rd, and have Boeckman and Schoenhoft can share.

Exactly Troy comes out midway through the 3rd with a 28 point lead and Zwick finishes the third and one series of the 4th. Give Boeckman most of the fourth then and let Robbie finish it off. Sounds perfect to me!

Grayshirting gives coaches roster room

A standout high school quarterback, Todd Boeckman didn't know how to react during the recruiting process five years ago when Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel asked if he would consider "grayshirting."
"I'd never heard of the word," said Boeckman, now a junior and the favorite to replace Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith. "I didn't know what to say. I mean, how do you respond when you've never heard of something?"
If Boeckman wins the starting quarterback job at Ohio State, he no doubt will become the nation's highest-profile former grayshirt. The process of grayshirting allows a college program to hold back a committed recruit by at least one semester or quarter.
By delaying the enrollment, the five-year eligibility clock does not begin immediately and the incoming player counts against the next recruiting class rather than the current one.
