Meyer has not decided on Buckeyes’ starting QB
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has not made a final decision on his starting quarterback and isn’t ruling out playing both stars in the Buckeyes’ season opener.
J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones have been battling in training camp to determine the No. 1 quarterback to lead the defending national champions.
The Buckeyes open the 2015 season at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., next Monday night.
“We’ll announce the starter when the first guy takes the snap,” Meyer said during his Monday news conference. “It’s still very close, both guys are performing very well.”
Barrett and Jones said recently that they are opposed to a rotating system to run the Buckeyes’ spread attack.
Steelers’ receiver suspended four games
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant was suspended without pay for the first four games of the 2015 regular season for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy, the league officially announced Monday.
Bryant will be eligible to return to the Steelers’ active roster on Friday, Oct. 2 following the team’s Thursday night game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Bryant is eligible to participate in all preseason practices and games.
The Steelers open the season on Thursday, Sept. 10 at New England against the defending Super Bowl-champion Patriots.
Golson will start at QB for Florida State
Everett Golson, a senior transfer from Notre Dame, will start for Florida State in the season opener against Texas State on Sept. 5.
Coach Jimbo Fisher chose Golson over junior Sean Maguire, who led FSU to a win over Clemson last season as starter Jameis Winston was suspended.
That is the only game Maguire has started in his career. Meanwhile, Golson has 25 starts under his belt, including the 2012 BCS National Championship game, which the Irish lost to Alabama.
Golson threw for 3,445 yards and 29 touchdowns last season at Notre Dame. He graduated in May and transferred to Florida State shortly after. According to NCAA rules, a graduate transfer can play immediately.
LSU coach Miles visits hospital, returns for practice
LSU head coach Les Miles visited the hospital on Monday after feeling ill in the morning, but he was back at the football operations building by Monday afternoon.
Miles, who turns 62 in November, was scheduled to attend his weekly media conference at 12:30 p.m., but when he did not appear for about 40 minutes, athletic director Joe Alleva made a brief statement, saying Miles was not feeling well and was advised to go to the hospital by LSU trainers.
Alleva said Miles went to the hospital “on a precautionary basis,” and expected Miles to return for Monday afternoon’s practice.
When Miles returned, according to the New Orleans Times Picayune, he joked, “I OD’ed on coffee.”
