Change in philosophy could mean an increased role for Ohio State freshmen in 2019

The decisions made by Dabo Swinney at Clemson may have changed the college football landscape forever. At the beginning of the season, senior quarterback Kelly Bryant returned for his second year as the team’s starter. After leading the team to a College Football Playoff semifinal game a year prior, where they lost 24-6 to Alabama, it seemed like the obvious choice. However, after just four games, Swinney announced that true freshman Trevor Lawrence would be taking over as the team’s QB. The move, while surprising to some people, paid off as well as it possibly could have, with Lawrence leading the team to a National Championship victory.
