Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer still doesn't know who his starting quarterback is, but in his Monday press conference, he revealed he's in the process of making a decision.

"I haven't decided yet," Meyer said Monday. "We're going to have conversations, and (as of) today, not one has beaten out the other and they're not playing great."

In a shaky win over Northern Illinois on Saturday, neither Cardale Jones or J.T. Barrett played well. Jones finished 4-for-9 with 36 yards and two interceptions, while Barrett went 11-for-19 with 97 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

The quarterbacks aren't playing up to their abilities, and a controversy heading into Week 4 isn't what the No. 1 team in the country wanted.

Meyer is well aware of the talent they possess, but is waiting for one of them to show it because he believes both are capable of leading the Buckeyes, they just haven't been able to execute yet.

"I did go with one guy," Meyer said. "The guy didn't perform well, so we went with the backup. There was no set thing saying we were a two-quarterback system, and we're not. The backup is a very good player, whoever that may be."
