Devin Brown is taking an always-stay-ready approach to being Ohio State’s backup quarterback, which paid off with his touchdown pass when called upon at Michigan State.
Devin Brown’s rapid transition from sitting on the bench to throwing a touchdown pass last weekend at Michigan State gave him an adrenaline rush unlike any he’s ever experienced before in his Ohio State career.
“I thought I was going to throw up. I was just, like, so juiced up. … My mom said I jumped up and did the splits or something, like in the air. I really don't even remember. It was just a blur.”As Ohio State’s backup quarterback, Brown isn’t where he’d like to be on the depth chart in his third year as a Buckeye.
While his place on the depth chart hasn’t changed from last year, Brown believes his approach to playing the quarterback position is completely different than it was a year ago. “I came over to the sideline when I sat down, and I was, like, shaking because I had so much adrenaline going. It was just a crazy moment.”While he threw two touchdown passes in backup duty and also ran for a touchdown last season, he said last week’s touchdown is his favorite play he’s had as a Buckeye because of the circumstances it came under.
Despite picking Howard to start over him, Day and Kelly showed their faith in Brown by dialing up a play for Brown to throw a touchdown pass rather than making a conservative call to preserve a field goal attempt. Kelly, who is in his first year as Ohio State’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, says he’s pleased with the development he’s seen from Brown this year.
