1999 Media Guide: Suddenly, Austin Moherman is the veteran quarterback on Ohio State’s roster. Never mind he has only quarterbacked briefly in four games and thrown just one pass, this third-year sophomore has been through two fall camps, two seasons, two bowl preparations and two spring drills. And it is these experiences, coupled with a strong arm, that makes the 6-5 quarterback a real player in the key position battle of the 1999 Ohio State season. “Austin has a chance to put two years of playbook knowledge to use this fall,” quarterback’s coach Tim Salem said. “He knows what to do and what not to do and he has some arm strength. He can be a player.”

1998: Saw his first collegiate action, getting time in four games. He attempted a single pass, against Toledo.
