ive been hearing about this guy bauserman for a few years now. The only reason he didn’t come here sooner was because of troy taking off like he did. If you want a player at qb to make a difference its not boeckman. This coaching staff needs to send a message to him “No more underthrows”. He makes good choices with the ball he just doesn’t release the deep pass early enough. Bauserman looked like the real deal to me arm wise. You give Boeckman his arm and we got payton manning.
All this years team needs is a qb to take care of the ball and not to put it on the ground or up for grabs in the air. Taking a sack is a good play sometimes.

Hey Rick (If you’re out there),
Maybe now Bauserman can quit carrying this photo around as proof that he is on the team. hehe

Just goes to show you how quickly Buckeye fans change their mind on a QB, in January most people probably didn’t know who he was, now after the spring game some radical OSU fans are sreaming to give him a shot at the starting job.

Boeckman will start all year (assuming he is injury free). However, after watching the spring game several times, I DO feel more comfortable knowing there is a capable back (Bauserman) up who can make big throws if something does happen.
Pryor will most likely get some playing time in specific situations, however I do not see him being the guy that becomes the starter if Boeckman does get hurt.
As for Henton……..he might want to think about a position switch or a transfer, because he has been here longer than Bauserman but has clearly been passed on the depth chart. He scrambles well, but that is useless because he can’t keep his eyes down field while he is scrambling. There were several times that he would break a tackle and/or escape the pocket and lose sight of his receivers who would break wide open.

Depth Char prediction (for the WHOLE year)

Starter = Boeckman
Backup = Bauserman
3rd String = Pryor (and Redzone/Short yardage duties)
Practice Squad = Henton

Boeckman has three main problems, as I see it:

1. He refuses to check down in favor of the long toss, no matter how underthrown and late it is (his first interception, for example);

2. On hot reads, he stares down the first option, and doesn’t look off (this was his second interception, as an example);

3. His underthrown balls are primarily due to bad footwork, or not getting set. To be effective, his footwork has to be perfect. He’s not a Favre-like gunslinger whose arm strength overcomes bad footwork. That’s why pressure seems to rattle him, and make him less effective (see the Illinois and LSU games, for example).

I don’t think he’s a train wreck at quarterback, but Tressel might be well-served to treat him as a caretaker, and not a gamewinner. Boeckman won’t engineer the game-winning drive, and probably won’t make any miraculous plays in a close game. But if his running game is productive, and his defense sound, he can manage a game effectively enough to win, and make some solid throws. You know who he reminds me of? Chad Henne.

Those craving a Troy Smith-type game-changer will have to wait for summer, I’m afraid, and even Pryor has mechanical work to do to improve his passing game.

MILLBUCK the DUMB**** “who led us where?” wasn’t it Beanie who bulled his way to 39 carries against Michigan (3 times the passing attempts as the Boucher)? Didn’t Beanie run more or equal to TB’s passes in the Mich State and Penn State games? Didn’t Beanie bail out the Boucher in the pass-first attack against Wisconsin with a monster 2nd half? Wasn’t it Beanie blistering LSU until Tressel’s crappy Pop Warner playcalling turned Beanie into a virtual nonfactor…first because of JT’s unwillingness to commit to him then because he couldn’t afford to? Tressel’s goof forced us to ride on Boeckman’s arm to get back in the game and Bo Pellini closed his corners and blitzed heavy. Todd’s arm again led us nowhere when dared. Ridiculous you say..I say in over his head.

There’s no way that Todd is losing his starting job. Still makes for something fun to talk about heading into summer.

Oh, I’m with you, Mill. I think Todd’s got great things in store and the spring game was basically pointless. He’s fine. Troy looked awful in some of his spring games, and Todd looked mediocre last year before nearly breaking Troy’s TD record. He’ll be fine.

this is ridiculous. we have a senior quarterback who led us to the national championship last year and he throws two picks in a practice game. and i would like to point out that no matter how good a throw the first one was, that was a hell of a play by coleman to jump and come up with that. Also, most of the gray team was packed with talent in the secondary which was probably a move by tressel to make it a little harder on todd. the first pick he threw was a great defensive play, while raining and lawerence wilson in his face. the second pick was with someone pushing boeckman back and hartline falling away from the football and another diving interception by an experienced linebacker. our fans kill me with this jump on jump off mentality. michael jordan probably missed buzzer beaters in practice too but what counts is in the real games and i think i’ll be a lot more comfortable with todd under center than bauserman who was throwing against second and third stringers.
