Eddie George Believes Cardale Jones Will Start For The Buckeyes

Eddie George is a former NFL running back who is now the spokesperson for the Sports Illustrated/Go RVing 2015 College Football Tailgate Tour.

Eddie joined Ed and Steve to preview the college football season which gets started tonight.

Steve asked Eddie about who he think will win the starting quarterback job for Ohio State this season. Eddie noted, "based off of what I've seen in practice, its a really tight race. Jones and Barrett are so close. My gut feeling would be to go with Cardale Jones."

Ed asked Eddie about any teams that could surprise people and make a run to the college football playoff "I like Notre Dame, they have a great nucleus, I also like Oklahoma, they should bounce back from last year. And then there's Michigan State, they should be able to compete for a national title this season."

Eddie went on to discuss some of the classic games between the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens, whether or not Ray Rice can still play at a high level in NFL, and an overview of the 2015 College Football Tailgate Tour which gets started this Monday night as Ohio State visits Lane Stadium to face Virginia Tech.
