Ryan Day doesn't name the starting QB until ~2 weeks before opening day.
If recent trends are indicative of the future, we should have a starter named by as early as Saturday the 19th and as late as Monday the 21st.
- Monday August 19, 2019: RYAN DAY OFFICIALLY NAMES JUSTIN FIELDS AS OHIO STATE'S STARTING QUARTERBACK
- Competition: Gunnar Hoak and Chris Chugunov
- Anticipation: We all knew it would be Fields
- Saturday August 21, 2021: C.J. STROUD NAMED STARTING QUARTERBACK FOR OHIO STATE'S SEASON OPENER AT MINNESOTA
- Competition: Kyle McCord, Jack Miller
- Anticipation: CJ was favored as he 'started to separate' from the field
Unlike the previous 2 'QB Battles' we don't know the answer in advance.
All indications are it's still a battle: Ohio State football: Reaction as Ryan Day remains undecided between Kyle McCord, Devin Brown at QB (247sports.com)
“It’s hard to name somebody when there isn’t a significant gap. So, we’re looking for someone to emerge. There’s been some good things and there’s been some things that they want back and I appreciate their competitiveness right now. So, the competition will continue this week.” -- Ryan Day
UPDATE: Nothing new to update... Except Zach Smith (ugh, that guy again) still proclaims himself as an insider and thinks Devin will win (and a Heisman to boot)
