Ohio State coach Urban Meyer knows who is in line to start at right guard when the Buckeyes play Nebraska on Saturday, but he doesn’t want the rest of the world to know just yet.
A leader has emerged, Meyer said Wednesday, in what he previously described as a "wide open" competition between Matthew Burrell, Demetrius Knox and Malcolm Pridgeon to replace Branden Bowen as the Buckeyes’ starting right guard. Meyer declined multiple invitations, however, to reveal who that leader is.
“I kind of know, but we won’t announce it yet though,” Meyer said during his Wednesday press conference, smirking and saying nothing while giving a long pause when asked about it a second time.
