Why is this news?: J.T. Barrett, Cardale Jones don’t want a 2-quarterback system

While many college football fans might love to see both J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones on the field playing quarterback this season, Jones was adamant during Ohio State’s media day Sunday that, in his opinion, a two-quarterback system wouldn’t be a good idea for the team.

Prior to the start of camp, Urban Meyer declared that he would not announce who would be the starting quarterback until just before the Buckeye’s opener at Virginia Tech. One week into camp, that hasn’t changed. Jones was confident that Meyer would make it work--Braxton Miller’s position switch to H-back as one example of Meyer’s ability to spread talent where it was needed—but expressed concern as to how that would affect either quarterback’s ability to perform at that position.
