Question of the Day By ERIC OLSON - Associated Press - Monday, April 26, 2021
Nine of the 14 teams in the Big Ten appear set at quarterback heading into the fall. The five others will continue auditions in August, and no competition will be more closely watched than the one at Ohio State.
With two-time Big Ten player of the year Justin Fields departing for the NFL, returning backups C.J. Stroud and Jack Miller III and five-star January enrollee Kyle McCord took the snaps in spring practice.
Stroud was believed to be the front-runner entering the spring, but coach Ryan Day said a starter might not be determined until shortly before the Sept. 2 opener at Minnesota.

Indiana learned about Turner because of a connection of college teammates. Fayetteville coach Casey Dick and former Indiana defensive coordinator Kane Wommack played together at Arkansas for two years and were roommates at the time. Dick stayed around all four and earned the starting quarterback job in his junior and senior seasons. Wommack played fullback for two years before transferring to Southern Miss, but they stayed in contact. Dick told Wommack last year there was a player the Hoosiers needed to see.
Wommack was sold and offered quickly. So was Indiana coach Tom Allen, and Turner was quickly sold on Allen. Both are devout Christians and Turner and his family bonded with Allen over that.
