This Quarterback Battle is Different, Urban Meyer Didn't See the National Title Coming, and Catfish Biff's Closes Shop

Welcome to another day. Congratulations, you've made it.

Word of the Day: Shibboleth.

IT'S DIFFERENT THIS TIME. We're not exactly strangers to high-profile quarterback battles here in Buckeyeland. We've had the famed #QBgeddon of 2015, and two future Heisman Trophy candidates battling it out in the spring of 2018.

But this year's race is going to be different for one big reason – none of the candidates have even ever thrown a collegiate pass.

Many times the choice comes down to the “safe” pick — usually a returning starter or veteran backup with limited skills upside — against a precocious young playmaker.
