When bowl practices get rolling, some extra snaps will be headed towards the backup quarterbacks. The first real quarterback battle is looming for the first time since 2014.
This year’s fourth-teamer, Keondre Wudtee, and walk-on Shaun Taylor stand to fill out the depth chart heading into spring, with San Clemente (Calif.) High School senior Brendan Costello expected to sign in December and enroll in January as well.
With only the final one-third of bowl practices dedicated to preparing for the opponent, OSU will use the majority of work like additional spring practices, focusing on self-scouting, fundamentals and the future.
