The legendary Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback famously led Urban Meyer's team to a national championship during the 2014 college football season.

Ohio State fans have been appreciating Jones for his time with the program, too. One fan asked for Buckeyes fans to name the best quarterback-wide receiver duo of all-time. "Who's the greatest Ohio State QB-WR duo of all time?" one fan wondered. One fan replied: "There are a lot of answers to this, a lot of them with merit. This answer, however, is Cardale Jones to Devin Smith. They were here for a good time, not a long time." Another wrote: "Cardale Jones to Devin Smith. Short relationship, but it was definitely sweet." One added: "Cardale Jones to Devin Smith. They had a short run but man it was effective."

Ohio State Legend Calls Out Texas Over Week 1 Controversy
Ohio State Legend Calls Out Texas Over Week 1 Controversy originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Less than eight months after the two historic programs met in a College Football Playoff semifinal, the Texas Longhorns and Ohio State Buckeyes will ring in the new season together. The season opener's kickoff time has been a hot-button topic, and former Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones recently weighed in. Advertisement Jones wanted Buckeyes faithful to know it wasn't their team's fault that the game is slated to start at noon on Aug. 30. "I ran into one of the analysts, one of the hosts of the FOX Big Noon show," Jones said recently on "The Script" podcast. "And not the Buckeye (Urban Meyer). ... Quote, 'Please tell Buckeye Nation this is not on us. We wanted this game to be prime time, but since ABC and NBC has that slot, they denied our request. So the next best thing was moving this game to Sunday, which OSU was all for, but Texas denied. "'They did not wanna have one less day to prepare for their following game against San Jose State.'" Ohio State Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer returns a fumble recovery for a touchdown against the Texas Longhorns during their Cotton Bowl playoff game on Jan. 10, Cairns / Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY Network via Imagn Images San Jose State, not nearly the test for Texas that Ohio State is, hasn't had a double-digit-win season since 2012. The Spartans went 7-6 a campaign ago. Advertisement "To the credit of the Big Noon show ... and that staff, I mean, clearly they want this thing to be prime time as much as possible because their show gets the best ratings when things are prime time," Jones said. "It always looks better when things are prime time. So, Buckeye Nation, get off their backs. It was a lot of moving parts. They wanted it, we wanted it, it was one entity that denied us from this. So let's add that fuel to the fire." Thanks to Jack Sawyer's heroic game-sealing strip sack and fumble recovery, Ohio State downed Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns 28-14 in the Cotton Bowl.
