With Ohio State's football training camp underway, possibly nothing will grab headlines like the team's starting quarterback competition will.

Three weeks from the Buckeyes' season opener against Virginia Tech, there still does not seem to be a clear front-runner. Discussion of a dual- or rotation-QB system have arisen, as head coach Urban Meyer ran one successfully at Florida and since J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones are so different in their playing styles.

"I don't think it would be as efficient," Barrett told ESPN of a rotation. "I did that in high school and switched every series... and that's kind of tough to do being that you can't get into a rhythm, get a real vibe off the defense.

"I don't think it would be the best idea."

Meyer coached Florida to a National Championship victory with Chris Leak and Tim Tebow splitting snaps in 2006, but neither Barrett nor Jones think such a system would be feasible with their team.

"I don't think it's a great idea," Jones told ESPN. "I don't think you could get in a rhythm. In a two-quarterback system, if I run three plays and run off the field and J.T. runs out for a drive, I don't know how well that would work with rhythm and timing with guys.

"Only one of us can play."

Barrett and Jones' agreement may also be a testament to their like-mindedness and cooperation in what is likely the most heated starting position battle in all of college football. The Ohio State football team's official Twitter account quoted Meyer stating, "It's unbelievable how well they get along."

But in a toss up situation, Meyer's "gut feeling" could lead him to pick Barrett. A more accurate passer and a much better runner, Barrett fits the offense Meyer is used to running. ESPN's Adam Rittenberg reported that an opposing defensive coordinator in the Big Ten believes Barrett is the likely choice.
