Ohio State’s quarterback competition wasn’t won or lost by either Will Howard or Devin Brown in Saturday’s spring game.
Simply put, the two frontrunners to be Ohio State’s starting quarterback didn’t get enough reps in the spring game for either one to stake a clear claim for the job. Each of them was on the field for only two drives in the first half before the Buckeyes gave their younger quarterbacks the rest of the reps, as most of the spring game’s starters did not play at all in the second half.
Brown had the best day among the quarterbacks statistically, throwing the day’s only touchdown pass on an 11-yard strike to walk-on receiver Brennen Schramm and completing five passes for 66 yards on just seven attempts to lead all quarterbacks in yards per attempt.
