COLUMBUS, Ohio — It may have taken six games to do so, but Urban Meyer finally appeared to find an answer for Ohio State's quarterback conundrum in the Buckeyes' 49-28 win over Maryland on Saturday.
And it doesn't involve choosing one guy over the other.
After stating earlier in the week that he had spent an "inordinate" amount of time debating situationally subbing backup J.T. Barrett for starter Cardale Jones to help cure the Buckeyes' recent red-zone woes, Meyer wasted little time putting words into action. Upon reaching the Terrapins' 25-yard line on Ohio State's second offensive drive, the Buckeyes head coach pulled Jones in favor of Barrett, who found wide receiver Michael Thomas for a 20-yard pass before capping off the drive with a three-yard touchdown run.
