COLUMBUS, Ohio — As Urban Meyer took the podium following his team's first practice of fall camp, the Ohio State head coach didn't waste time playing coy.
With an unprecedented quarterback competition officially underway, Meyer knew what was on everybody's mind and didn't even wait for a question to broach the subject of the now-ongoing battle between Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett.
"J.T. and Cardale—they're fine. There's no update other than they're fine, I guess," Meyer said while delivering rare opening remarks in his post-practice press conference.
"It's even. Straight even."
The three-time national champion head coach expects his quarterback conundrum to remain that way throughout the first half of fall camp as he gives equal reps to both Jones and Barrett.
