You ask, we answer. Sometimes we ask, others answer. And then other times, we ask, we answer.
Throughout the year, we will be asking and answering questions about various Ohio State teams, the players, and anything else on our collective minds of varying degrees of importance. If you have a question that you would like to ask, you can tweet us @LandGrant33, or if you need more than 280 characters, send an email HERE.
Buckeye fans, believe it or not, but we have an actual, real-life Ohio State football game to watch today. Granted, the term “game” will likely be rather loosely applied to this game, but nonetheless, the Scarlet and Gray will be on the field at Ohio Stadium today, so ahead of what will hopefully be an awe-inspiring and revelatory intrasquad scrimmage, we asked Buckeye Nation some questions this week about the future (near and long-term) of the program.
Earlier this week, in our weekly fan survey, we asked LGHL readers to put their two cents in on who would eventually win out in the battle to be the OSU QB. While Ryan Day has said that the two main contenders are neck and neck, you never know what can happen. The other question had to do with the performance of individual position groups in the scrimmage today.
So, check out the responses below and see if you agree with your fellow fans. If now, head to the comments at the bottom of the article and let us know your thoughts.
Question 1: Who wins Ohio State’s quarterback battle?
The smart money is on Julian Sayin, but if I’m being honest, I am surprised how many people are predicting Lincoln Kienholz to win this job. There is likely no chance that Day — short of an absolutely mind-blowing performance today — will declare a starting quarterback before halfway through fall camp. Even in seasons when we all knew what the result would be, Day has stuck to his timeline, and I think that will be the case this season.
While I too expect the former Alabama recruit to take the snaps this fall, there is still a long way between now and the season opener.
Question 2: Which position group will be the most pleasantly surprising in the Spring Game?
You know, it’s tough to argue with the offensive line at this point. I know that all of his success has been confined to the recruiting trail, but Tyler Bowen has been pretty darn impressive since landing in Columbus. Admittedly, Justin Frye did a pretty bang-up job down the stretch with the shuffled offensive line, but if Bowen’s boys can come out and looked good against a completely new defensive line, there should be a lot of confidence about that unit heading into the summer.
