Many out there may view Ohio State's quarterback competition as a foregone conclusion after Will Howard transferred in from Kansas State, but Lincoln Kienholz and Devin Brown don't see it that way.
During their interview sessions with the media on Monday, both Brown and Kienholz expressed confidence that they could win the starting job for the Buckeyes. Brown went so far as to call those speculating that he should transfer "cowards."
In terms of players that will be protecting either Howard, Brown or Kienholz, left guard Donovan Jackson dove into his decision to come back and said his offseason preparation has been motivated by his final play against Michigan last year, when he allowed a quarterback hit that led to a game-sealing interception for the Wolverines.
