JT was arguably the best QB in the nation when he went down; he was incredible. I also think he's a better fit for Urban's system. I'd start him.

I will say that I think this will be more difficult than the managing of a 2-QB system like Urban has done in the past. It's one thing when you have a senior/freshman and can design specific packages for each. It's also one thing when you have a guy who's a complete unknown in Jones and a guy who's playing exceptionally well in Barrett.

Now, he's got two guys who are essentially established stars. Hell Jones thought about going pro. These are guys who are namebrands and have egos based on the fact that they have proven what they can do on the field, but at the end of the day there's only one football.

OSU is the most talented team in the country and I believe Meyer is the best coach in the country (brace for thread derail), but I think this will be more difficult to manage than people think. If OSU doesn't win it all, this is why IMO.

If we can handle VT, there will be plenty of playing time to go around at the beginning of the year. That will help.

If JT comes out strong, it will quelch any QB controversy.
