Cardale Jones

Tell me what you think about this one, Nevada.

I know you thought there was one that was interesting a few weeks ago, but Cardale Jones has been chosen as the bell ringer for this game.

What's your thoughts?

I mean, look, I think Cardale is one of the great stories in Ohio State history.

He might be, I don't know.

I don't know all the other schools as thoroughly, but I can't think of a better story.

Then Cardale Jones, a third string, you know, and, you know, just slacking off.

And Urban Meyer talks about how he was like, oh, God, you know, he just didn't trust him at first because he was just, you know, Cardale's like, man, listen.

J.A., that 2014 season is still remarkable.

He had three different quarterbacks, right? And he finds, I mean, Cardale Jones became

a draft pick simply for his performance over three games.

Look, that 2014 team, I mean, they were a freight train by the time of that.

He might be – I don't know.

I don't know all the other schools as thoroughly, but I can't think of a better story than Cardale Jones, the third string, you know, and, you know, just slacking off.

And Urban Meyer talks about how he was like, oh, God, you know, he just didn't trust him at first because he was just, you know, Cardale's like, man, listen.

whatever, you know, so, but the, the way he stepped up and came in was absolutely impressive.

but terrible it's the cocktail party it always will be that name is ridiculous and the things that they do for money in college sports is just crazy now that's the worst thing i saw other than how the gators played but i know you were tuned in locked in on the game kayla uh 27 to 8 loss let's just get into it what what did you see overall

Well, you know, one of the biggest questions going into this week was who is going to play quarterback? And we obviously got an answer.

And by the end of the game, I think we had no answer.

Oh,

gosh.

With both quarterbacks struggling.

But I don't know who you would say.

I mean, with a combined, I mean, what, three interceptions and a fumble between both quarterbacks, I don't know who you say would really struggle worse.

It's in the show.

Cardale Jones will be the bell ringer for Ohio State, and there's some irony to that.

But again, like I said at the top, I'm not going to go into the Fahey narrative, but I think the committee could feel that a little bit.

So we'll see how they stack them up.

And we have consistently as a team and as an offense, even before Ryan Day showed up, JT Barrett could run it.

Cardale Jones didn't run the zone read so much as he just would take off and truck people.

Braxton, of course, probably the greatest running quarterback I've ever seen, or at least in Scarlet and Gray, with all due respect to Cornelius Green and JT Barrett.

But Haskins wasn't going to run it.

Yeah.

The bell ringer this Saturday, Mika, Cardale Jones is ringing the bell today.

What do you think of that choice?

I'm really excited.
