After appearances by Delton last week, it would appear the coaches are grooming him for the backup position in case Ertz has something unfortunate happen to that shoulder. Dalton Risner went out of his way to complement Delton on his leadership after the game last week.
Hope Ertz can stay healthy, but if not it looks like Delton has made the move up to #2. And it's interesting because OSU is vulnerable to the run, which means Ertz will be asked to do that, which also means he will be in harms way - considering the quote by the Mullet about them exploiting our team's tendency to put the QB at risk for injury.
They might want to be careful what they wish for, though, because Delton could possibly come in and have big day against a defense that has a hard time stopping the run.
