Summary

Ohio State quarterbacks have become synonymous with Heisman Trophy contention. Each of the last four OSU starting quarterbacks has not only drawn votes but finished in the top five of the voting. So who will be the next Buckeye to earn an invitation to New York as a Heisman finalist? Will it be whoever wins the quarterback competition this fall? Will a player from another position break through the QB bias for the award? Doug, Nathan and Stephen debate it on another Mark It Down Monday.

Hey, hey, where you been? But got to talk is about to begin. Hey, hey, hey, come on in.

0:30.8

Welcome back to Buck I talk. It's market down Monday. We are talking about the

0:35.6

Heisman trophy, something that is synonymous with college football greatness,

0:39.8

something that is more and more synonymous with Ohio State football. And we are

0:45.3

asking when will Ohio State have its next Heisman trophy finalist? And who will

0:51.5

it be? So it's the tandem of those two things. You can't just say, Oh, I think

0:55.1

it'll be this guy before the end of his career. We're marking it down. We got to

0:58.9

be specific. We're marking it down to a specific year. So I'm here with Doug

1:03.4

Lamarice and Steven Means. I'm Nathan Baird. We're all with Cleveland.com. As you

1:07.2

all know, Doug, just in your time on this beat, it seems like this has changed a

little bit in terms of the way Ohio State and the Heisman trophy have a

1:18.4

relationship. They were always a team. I mean, they've got the most, I think

1:22.2

1:32.2

decent amount of Heisman trophy candidates. If not winners in Ohio State certainly

1:36.2

in that conversation. They have the back-to-back trophy winner Archie Griffin

1:42.4

in 1974, 1975. But at that time and certainly in the proceeding or the following

1:48.8

three or four decades, not a lot of Ohio State players involved in the

1:53.9

discussion and now in abundance of them in the discussion. So I guess just how

1:57.2

have you seen that change just in your time covering this program? So my second

2:03.7

year on the beat, Troy Smith wins the Heisman, which is kind of a big deal. He's
