Why Isn't Boeckman Playing?


After throwing two picks in a humiliating loss to USC, Ohio State coach Jim Tressell benched Boeckman in favor of freshman Terelle Pryor. Sure Terelle Pryor is a much more exciting player to watch but Boeckman led this team to the national championship a year ago. Now, a year later Boeckman is sitting on the sidelines as Ohio State suffered its second loss of the season. Boeckman is a 24 year old senior who was projected to be picked anywhere between the third round to the seventh round in the upcoming NFL draft. More on that here.
Terelle Pryor is undoubtedly the future of this Ohio State team but if Ohio State wanted a third straight trip to the national title, they should have let Todd Boeckman continue to play or at the very least, used a two quarterback system.

This is very debatable. Who do you think should be starting?
