Well, now this is something: A quick change in Cardale Jones? Twitter bio: pic.twitter.com/4atvVxiKGP

Cardale Jones has started Ohio State's last six games, dating back to last season's postseason.

The victor of the most-talked-about quarterback battle, perhaps, ever isn't very impressed with his recent performances.
Jones starred in the season opener at Virginia Tech, his first true road game, but he has been rather pedestrian the last two weeks vs. Hawaii and Northern Illinois, so much so that backup and 2014 Big Ten Quarterback of the Year J.T. Barrett has spelled him.
Saturday's 20-13 win vs. NIU was rock bottom. Jones completed just 4-of-9 passes and tossed a pair of interceptions, one of which led to the Huskies' lone touchdown.
After the game, Jones, one of the Big Ten's most active Twitter personalities, temporarily changed his Twitter bio to "3rd string quarterback @ The Ohio State University Oh wait, 2nd string." See it above.
Jones must have heard a lot about the change, because he later edited it to this:

To be fair, Barrett didn't fare much better vs. the Huskies, completing 11-of-19 passes for 97 yards, one touchdown and an interception.
The struggles under center are a big surprise, as the Ohio State quarterback, regardless of who won the job, was expected to be in the Heisman Trophy discussion. That isn't the case after three weeks, begging the question who will get the Week 4 start?
"Good question," Urban Meyer told the AP. "And I don't know that right now. I haven't had time to think about it."
