Examining Why Ohio State Would Employ a Special Package For Tate Martell in 2018

Regardless of if he wins the starting quarterback spot, it seems Tate Martell will see the field this upcoming season.

Last week, the redshirt freshman said that "it's already been confirmed" that there will be special packages to get him involved with the offense even if he does not earn the starting quarterback job this offseason.

Naturally, this generated quite the buzz and had Buckeye fans wondering why the team would elect to do this. The short answer is that there are definite advantages to having a dual-threat quarterback, and Martell is certainly the best runner of the group.
