## Resource

Who is the best quarterback Ohio State will face during the 2026 season? Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr rank the opposing quarterbacks on the Buckeyes’ schedule, from the least proven options to a top three featuring Texas' Arch Manning and others. The discussion includes Bryce Underwood’s potential sophomore leap at Michigan, Malik Washington’s promising freshman production at Maryland, Anthony Colandrea’s unpredictable playmaking ability, and what Illinois can expect from former Michigan State quarterback Katin Houser. Tony and Tom also examine whether Josh Hoover can maintain Indiana’s recent standard at quarterback, debate whether Arch Manning belongs ahead of Maiava, and explain why Moore may enter the season as the most dangerous passer Ohio State is scheduled to face.
