I really respect Urban Meyer and his coaching staff. Going through so much adversity at the most important position and still be on top!

Congrats to Urban Meyer and Ohio State. Unreal how they have handled adversity this season. #GreatJobUrban

Urban Meyer is a genius.. It's called a system.. 3rd string QB looks like Tim Tebow.. Nothing else to say...

I know this doesn't matter tonight but everytime I watch Jones (3rd string) all I can think is dang we (LSU) didn't have one this year!

Having watched zero Ohio state football before last week, you'd struggle to convince me that Ohio State had 2 QBs better than this guy!
— Zach Ertz (@ZERTZ_86) January 13, 2015
I wonder what Ohio State will do with the QB a situation..I don't think Ohio State beats Wisconsin, Alabama or Oregon without 12-gauge at QB
