2019 Ohio State Season Thread

Sounds like he's gone.  Leaves them pretty thin - and they are very likely to get a grad transfer or possibly a freshman for next year.  One name I recognized was Alex Malzone.  Anyway, I did not think he looked sharper than Fields - he threw some picks and generally looked like he needed some seasoning.  But he's not a local kid and it makes sense that if he isn't the guy, he'd rather compete to be the guy closer to home.

Both of OSU's schollie QBs were playing for other schools last year. 

Might as well make it a trifecta, and nab ole Gunnar Hoak. Local guy in the transfer portal out of Kentucky.

Getting an underclassman transfer: That's easy to imagine
Getting a grad transfer: I don't think that's as reasonable of a prediction. But let me qualify that what isn't reasonable about it is to think the category of grad transfer QB who is primarily leaving to start elsewhere will pick OSU. Not that you've said otherwise. I'm just being specific about my prediction.

Now if there's a kid who dislikes his current situation and is apathetic about starting and really likes the OSU mystique or a specific OSU masters degree ... I could see that guy grad transferring as a warm body. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up below OSU's best walk-on on the depth chart at the finish of fall camp.

I didn’t feel like looking through 14 pages so I apologize if this has been talked about.  I’m just curious if any Buck fans know anything or have any thoughts about backup QB Chris Chuganov.

He’s a WVU transfer and I’ve heard as of right now he is second string in Columbus.  I have to say when he transferred up there I was really, really surprised.  He played the last three games for WVU in 2017 when Grier broke his finger early in the Texas game.

He came in that game and after a shaky start finished with a respectable line of 14-26 for 189 yards, a TD and no picks.  The next two games he got progressively worse.  He was 10-20 against Oklahoma for 137 yards and in the bowl game against Utah he was simply dreadful.  He was 9-28 for 129 yards, one TD, and 2 picks and, honestly, the stats for that game don’t do justice for how bad he truly played.

I figured he may transfer out but I assumed it would be down to FCS.  He wasn’t a highly recruited kid to begin with.  I was just perplexed when it turned out to be Ohio St and now it sounds like he may be one unlucky play from being the guy.  What are you guys hearing about that situation?

[MaximumSam]

Had never heard of him. I didn't even realize he got on the field at WVU. But he's second string now.

[Brutus Buckeye]

When a team only has two scholarship QBs, second string isn't really much to crow about.

[Kris60]

I guess my thing was I was surprised Meyer even allowed him on campus.  Ohio St has the pick of the litter.

Sounds like Gunner Hoak also joining up

Oh, that would be sweet. Probably played with ole CJ Saunders in HS.

"Ever since I was born at OSU hospital, some aspect of my life has involved scarlet and gray," Hoak said in his statement. "I've heard my Dad's football stories with Coach Bruce, I've seen my Uncle coach countless Buckeye games in The 'Shoe, and watched my cousin win a National Championship. And while I have gained so much during my experience during my time in Lexington, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to continue a family legacy."
