ROANOKE, Va. – Urban Meyer is sticking to his plan of not announcing who the Ohio State starting quarterback is going to be before kickoff of the season opener Monday night at Virginia Tech, but the coach said he already has let J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones know.
“They handled it great,” Meyer told reporters upon arrival Sunday afternoon of the top-ranked Buckeyes here at their team hotel, some 40 miles east of VT’s Lane Stadium in Blacksburg. “Both of them are ready to go.”
Barrett started every regular-season game last year in place of the injured Braxton Miller before he, too, went down with a broken ankle.
