Around the 'Shoe

Urban said on Wednesday that he was ill. I didn't expect to see much of him. Needs to just relax and keep putting the work in.

Urban did say he wanted to have a great look at Miller and Guiton in the passing game. We saw a lot of passes.
Miller looked good. Nice spiral on the ball now. He made a couple bad throws. Didn't see any qb designed runs.
I thought Guiton played better in the second half. He is really getting better.

Other than Guiton's TD.

I hate to say this, but Cardale should transfer. He's a pocket passing QB, and Meyer's offense is not designed for him. It's a very unfortunate situation for him, the kid had schollie offers from many other schools, but waited and wanted to be a Buckeye. I just don't see Cardale excelling in Meyer's offense.

Hope this doesn't piss off Ginn Sr, and mess up our pipeline to glenville.

People forget that Chris Leak did most of the damage to us in the 07 NC game and not Tim Tebow. Leak was a pocket passer in Meyers offense.

I'm not so sure this tweet has to be football related... unless he was answering someone elses tweet I guess.

Cardale's a guy who originally committed to OSU despite being in the same class as Braxton. He could have gone to another school but he went to FUMA, OSU's prep pipeline. He never once wavered. Odds are he was instrumental in helping recruit his FUMA teammate, Mike Thomas, one of the stars of the spring game. He's proven he's S&G through and through.

Let's cut the kid some slack. He's one twisted ankle from being second string. Two twisted ankles from being the starter. Things will sort themselves out on their own without people having to push him out the door.

Thanks Iowa,

You have a knack for being a ballast on this sight. Always Keeping things in perspective.

Why on earth would they move our only scholarship third string QB to another position? How soon we forget. This kid can play and is a competitor. He played his best HS games against the best competition. Give him some time. We'll be glad we have him at QB.

Agree. The kid has only been on campus for 4 months and people think he wants to transfer because he didn't get to play in a scrimmage?

Cardale transferring? No. He just completed the first 15 practices of his whole life at the D-I level and just because he didn't play in the spring game he might transfer? No. And the idea that his "style" doesn't match Urban's doesn't make sense either. He knew full well what coming to OSU meant... competition. He gladly welcomed it. He isn't going anywhere.

The spring game was admittedly unbalanced (admitted by the HC) because they wanted to see some things, see the matchups, see how certain individuals would perform in a more game-like atmosphere. Since they've only had 14 practices to get their completely new offense installed, I can tell you what was NOT high on their priority list: seeing a third string QB throw. That is Cardale's position. 3rd string. The spring game was one in which the starting QB played the WHOLE game. This doesn't really say much about Cardale as it does about the whole team. The coaches wanted to see what their 2-deep could get done in a limited offensive scheme (according to Braxton), while at the same time allowing for some continuity to be built (no continuity like finding Mike Thomas 12 times, am I right?)...

So can we all please settle down about the 3rd string QB? He all summer and fall to impress and move up the depth chart, though I believe we know the top two QBs on the roster played in the spring game.

cardale will be a career backup at ohio state. it's nothing against him, he's got skills, but they simply have better options. i always thought it was laughable when people truly thought he could come in and compete with brax
