Ohio State QB Cardale Jones calls himself ‘2nd String’ on his Twitter page
Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones doesn’t appear to be taking his demotion to second string all that well.
Jones changed the description on his Facebook page to: “3rd String QB @ The Ohio State University Oh Wait, 2nd String.”
Jones was replaced by J.T. Barrett in the 20-13 win against Northern Illinois after throwing two interceptions. Jones completed just 4 of 9 passes for 36 yards before he was pulled. Barrett didn’t fare much better. He was 11 of 19 for 97 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
This was the second consecutive week Jones had been pulled in favor of Barrett. Two weeks ago, coach Urban Meyer declared Jones his starter following the win against Virginia Tech and said Barrett hadn’t challenged Jones for the starting role.
However, he hasn’t really needed to as Jones has opened the door for a quarterback controversy all by himself. Maybe, as early as last week.
After facing mass ridicule on Twitter, Jones decided to change his description.
Yeah, we’re happy that you’re easily influenced by Twitter, Cardale. And now we’ll just have to wait and see if he was actually being prophetic and he finds himself on the bench for next week’s game against Western Michigan.
