Lincoln Kienholz was disappointed he didn’t win Ohio State’s starting quarterback job, but that only made him hungrier to prove himself when he got his first opportunity to play this season.
That first opportunity came last weekend against Grambling State, and Kienholz took advantage of it. The third-year quarterback from South Dakota, who didn’t throw a pass in 2024 as Ohio State’s fourth-string quarterback, completed six of seven passing attempts for 71 yards and his first career touchdown pass while also running for 10 yards on two carries.
“I made the most of it. I went out there and just did the best I could, just trying to put the team in the best spot to go out and score,” Kienholz said.
