Urban Meyer opened up a bit about Ohio State's offseason quarterback competition during Big Ten Media Days, revealing just how close it was and how tight the battle was between Joe Burrow and Dwayne Haskins, and how close he remains to Burrow despite the transfer.
"Joe Burrow, the last two weeks of spring practice, did about everything he could to win that spot," Meyer said. "I really haven't talked much about this, but it was right there."
Obviously, Burrow did not win the job in the spring and ultimately chose to transfer to LSU, where he'll be eligible to play immediately as a graduate transfer – a rule Meyer said he fully supports.
