Urban Meyer said not long ago J.T. Barrett hadn't done enough to beat out Cardale Jones for the starting quarterback job at Ohio State.
"The approach I've taken is Cardale started. He's the starting quarterback. I met with him yesterday. J.T. has not beat him out yet," Meyer said Sept. 14, when Ohio State sat 2-0 after beating Hawai'i, 38-0, two days earlier. "He's going to continue to have opportunities to do that because J.T. is a very good player and Cardale's got to perform."
Jones held onto the starting spot for five more weeks, but Meyer announced Tuesday on the Big Ten teleconference that's no longer the case.
