They've had Ian Book and Jack Coan over the last few seasons - both were quite decent and are in the NFL player pool, though not starting material.
You can excuse going into Columbus with an inexperienced QB against all that talent and fizzling out. Today... the quarterback play was hard to fathom. That should have been an easy victory. They don't have the luxury of waiting for Lloyd Carr's grandson to arrive on campus.
It's been two years since Buchner played a meaningful game at any level. That 81-touchdown season in high school (53 passing, 28 rushing) was a long time ago, and I'm surprised they didn't have someone else coached up in case he failed.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin needs a new kicker. Two really dreadful efforts, and they're in some danger of losing at home to a not-that-good Washington State team. All of a sudden, Ohio State's killer early schedule is looking somewhat mediocre.
