After months of speculation and a valiant effort to keep things hidden by Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer and staff, Cardale Jones started Monday night's season-opener at quarterback against Virginia Tech.
Jones took the field with the first-team offense and fielded the first snap of the Buckeyes' 2015 season.
After leading Ohio State to the 2015 national title with three-straight victories to close the season, Jones had been in competition with redshirt sophomore J.T. Barrett, who finished fifth in last season's Heisman Trophy voting.
