Bucks' starting QB remains a mystery
Ohio State coach Earle Bruce offered no public decision on who will start at quarterback for the Big Ten opener with Iowa. He floated a two quarterback system, citing past use at Iowa State, and noted practice will determine the No. 1 starter while praising redshirt freshman Jim Karsatos and returning Mike Tomczak. A pair of linebackers returning from AWOL and a foot-injury sidelined freshman Eric Kamerow were mentioned as players in flux. The game time was shifted to 1:40 p.m. EDT to accommodate Sports View, with local telecast on WCLQ Channel 61 after CBS dropped the Nebraska-UCLA schedule.
