For the record, I think Barrett wins the job, Miller plays an all-purpose role as a passer, runner and receiver while Jones serves as the top backup.

Ohio State Starting Quarterback

QB, Ohio State

Ohio State has three quarterbacks they feel comfortable can lead them to a Big Ten title and back to the College Football Playoff with Braxton Miller, J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones. Which one starts is anyone’s guess, but whoever wins the job and makes the most starts moves to the No. 2 spot on this list.

Miller won the Offensive Player of the Year in 2012 and 2013 and could win an unprecedented third Award if he beats out Barrett who broke program records for total yards and Drew Brees’ Big Ten touchdown mark and Jones who beat Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon in his three starts.

For the record, I think Barrett wins the job, Miller plays an all-purpose role as a passer, runner and receiver while Jones serves as the top backup.
