BLACKSBURG, Va. — Cardale Jones insists he didn't find out he would be Ohio State's starting quarterback until the last possible moment.
Standing on the sideline as the Buckeyes defense forced a three-and-out on its first series of the season against Virginia Tech on Monday night, Jones claims he still didn't know whether it would be him or J.T. Barrett who would lead the OSU offense onto the field.
As both he and Barrett stepped into the Buckeyes huddle, doubt crept into Jones' mind.
"I started to take a couple of steps to the sideline," he said.
