Ohio State got a chance to show off something important in its national title hunt thanks to Jeremiah Smith and an unlikely quarterback.
Ohio State’sand emphasizes just how important all 41 of his snaps coming into the game were. The Buckeyes used all those snaps to make sure Brown was ready if something ever happened to Howard and took him out of the game. That moment came with 29 seconds left in the first half of a game where OSU didn’t always look great on both sides of the ball.
It was the perfect time to be conservative and head coach Ryan Day chose not to take that route because these are the exact moments why he wants more than one game-ready quarterback“That was a clutch play,” Day said. “We told him if you have the opportunity to throw it, rip it. Only throw it where the receiver can catch it. If nothing was there, throw it out of bounds and kick the field goal. He did that and he gave him a chance. It was good to see him make the play in that spot.
It gained validation for spending the entire spring and the early days of fall camp not caring which quarterback was working with who while all five battled to be the next starter.Day gained validation in continuing to keep his foot on the gas regardless of who’s under center because he trusts his ability to develop quarterbacks.
