Being an elite college quarterback is a full-time job. The amazing part is that those 50 weeks per year are spent on preparing for just 13 or 14 Saturdays per year, and the irony is that those 36 or 37 weeks can only prepare a quarterback so much for the games that he will be playing. While this spring was a positive experience for Ohio State quarterbacks…
One year ago at this time, Ohio State quarterback Matthew Baldwin was a true freshman who was about five months removed from an ACL tear. As such, he didn’t do much actual practicing. Baldwin did as much as he could last spring, but his time was mostly spent doing things that injured players get to do.” I was in the pit over there…
The 2019 Ohio State Spring Game just over a week away. The race for the quarterback job between Justin Fields and Matthew Baldwin is starting to take shape.
The quarterback battle at Ohio State will be the biggest on-field story for the Buckeyes until the competition is settled, and it doesn’t look like that resolution is coming anytime soon. Sophomore Justin Fields came from Georgia to compete against redshirt freshman Matthew Baldwin and redshirt sophomore Tate Martell.

Ohio State co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Yurcich was made available to reporters last Friday. Yes, it’s always good to talk to the guy in charge of the quarterbacks, but getting him after just two practices means that it’s going to be difficult to get any meaningful answers out of him. If you ask how…
After a forced hiatus of a couple of months, due mainly to a lack of internet at my new home, the Silver Bullets Podcast is back. The off-season may be quiet compared to the college football season itself, but there is plenty going on with spring practices just underway and the looming annual Spring Game. In the spirit of a busy offseason…
Can you name every Ohio State scholarship quarterback since 2015? Everyone remembers J.T. Barrett, of course. But what about John, Ross, Chuck, and Burt?
The first week of spring practice is in the books for the Ohio State Buckeyes and now they head off to spring break for a week of rest and relaxation. Reporters were granted access for the first hour of each of the practices, which featured mostly positional drills and some one-on-ones between receivers and defensive backs.
The second practice of Ohio State’s 2019 spring football schedule is now in the books. Here’s the latest on Justin Fields and Matthew Baldwin.
The Ohio State quarterback competition is going to be a story until the race is settled, but that’s not going to be for a considerable time. And even after it does get settled, it could pop right back up again with a bad game by the starter. But they’re just getting started.
