Back to the Ohio State Buckeyes Newsfeed

Succession

I cannot name a single Ohio State QB coach prior to Walt Harris.

Harris arrived in 1995 on John Cooper's staff and inherited senior Bobby Hoying and sophomore Stanley Jackson. It was not the most dynamic QB room in the country by a long shot; Florida was returning Danny Wuerffel and Nebraska had Tommie Frazier. Ohio State had just come off a four-loss season where it was held under 30 points nine times.

The Buckeyes had a solid offensive line returning despite losing Korey Stringer to the NFL draft. In April they indicated they'd be starting a former walk-on named Terry Glenn, coming off of what would eventually be known as a Bam Childress-Type Spring Game Performance.
