Cardale Jones, Ohio State’s third-string quarterback, has no starting experience and has been saddled with the task of leading the Buckeyes against Big 10-rival Wisconsin.
No worries, it’s not like the Big 10 title and a possible college football playoff hang on the outcome.

Jones has some pretty big shoes to fill in replacing not one, but two Heisman hopeful QB’s. That being said, cancer is a much scarier opponent than Wisconsin’s defensive line, and brave little Joshua just gave Cardale the best possible pep talk he could’ve received.
Go Buckeyes.
