Urban Meyer has too many great quarterbacks and choosing one to start is a decision the Ohio State head coach is looking forward to making.
The Ohio State Buckeyes have an embarrassment of riches at the most important position with three capable quarterbacks of leading the team back to the College Football Playoff in 2015.

Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer knows it will be a tough decision to choose from two-time Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and his most experienced option in Braxton Miller, record-breaking J.T. Barrett who was playing like a Heisman candidate as a redshirt freshman and Cardale Jones who quarterbacked the team to the national championship.
Every coach in America would love to have the depth chart at quarterback that Ohio State has, but knowing Meyer has to pick one to be the starter is starting to eat at him as spring practice gets underway.
Urban Meyer admits “it’s starting to eat away at me a little bit” that he’s going to have to bench two of the Buckeyes’ three quarterbacks.

That doesn’t sound like Meyer is open to the idea of a two-quarterback system he used during the first national championship he had with the Florida Gators when Chris Leak started and freshman Tim Tebow came in near the goal line to add a power running dynamic to the offense.
Based on what Urban Meyer's been saying, a two-quarterback system isn't happening in Columbus next season.

Meyer still has plenty of time to decide who will be the opening game starter and will wait until the end of fall camp to do so, especially with Miller and Barrett still recovering from their injuries from last season.
But who do you think Meyer will name as the starter? Let us know in the comments section below.
