Ohio State blows out Indiana, 38-15. Now, it's time to do the same to That Team Up North.
Once upon a time, Cardale Jones almost transferred from Ohio State due to harassment from Tom Herman, the quarterback coach.
From Pete Thamel of si.com:
Things bottomed out when Herman put a dunce cap on Jones in a quarterbacks meeting last year. The cap wasn’t indicative of Jones’s intelligence -- “He’s really smart and quick-witted,” Herman says -- but rather a sign of frustration at Jones’s refusal to accept his responsibilities. Finally Herman drew up a contract stating that if Jones missed class and didn’t achieve a certain grade-point average, he’d be kicked off the team. “There were continual doubts in my mind whether he would make it or not,” Herman says.
Jones weathered the storm, and the relationship culminated in Jones leading the Buckeyes to an improbable 2014 national championship.
Jones belongs to the Buffalo Bills these days, and Tom Herman coaches the Texas Longhorns. But the former OSU offensive coordinator will return to Columbus on May 7 to watch his former charge become the first collegiate graduate in his family.
From Bruce Feldman of foxsports.com:
Tom Herman & his wife are flying to Columbus for Cardale Jones graduation from #OhioSt May 7... "It's really cool to see how he's matured."

Herman had options, too:
"Migos & Chance the Rapper were gonna be here (in Austin) on Sunday, the 7th and wanted to meet me. I said 'No, Im gonna be in Columbus.
