WVU QB Chris Chugunov Grad Transferring to OSU
In a pretty surprising move, it's been announced that backup WVU QB Chris Chugunov is grad transferring to OSU and will be on scholarship.
Chugnov was the 1128th ranked player in the composite in 2015. He just finished his RS SO year and has 2 years of eligibility remaining. He started the last 2 games last year after Grier got hurt and played in 5 total. For his career he's completed 47.1% of his passes at 5.8 YPA with 3 TDs and 3 INTs, as well as 7 rushes for -48 yards.
The move is surprising since he will be on scholarship and OSU is supposed to be full at 85 for 2018. OSU has said they don't have any roster additions at the time. So either Chugunov will join next year with 1 year of eligibility left or will join this with a different player leaving/losing their scholarship.
After the transfer of Joe Burrow to LSU, OSU has 3 QBs on scholarship for this year including a true freshman. This seems like a depth move but interesting nonetheless.

Well, we're screwed.
August 14th, 2018 at 2:10 PM ^
Because OSU is an NFL QB machine. Duh.
August 14th, 2018 at 2:36 PM ^
[Heavy sigh] We used to be.
August 14th, 2018 at 4:39 PM ^
No one cares about the NFL. We're on a college football board for a reason.

Will the powers that be remove this POS f-ckeye troll hgb4529 from this site please?
August 14th, 2018 at 2:13 PM ^
According to WVU fans "Chuggs" was so bad last year that WVU had to go Wildcat when he was playing. So OSU is desperate for bodies at QB.

I never realized how much “we” (OSU) live rent free in UM fans’ minds.
August 14th, 2018 at 2:18 PM ^
I suppose it's better than living rent-free in your condemned trailer.
August 14th, 2018 at 2:19 PM ^
Consider it charity. Figured it be good to show you the mind of a fanbase that doesn't condone sexual assault, victim blame and try to win at all costs.

Says the OSU fan posting on a Michigan board.
August 14th, 2018 at 2:19 PM ^
It would be cruel for us to try and charge your broke asses rent, so. Consider it a humanitarian thing.
August 14th, 2018 at 2:43 PM ^
You're the douche OSU fan who joined a Michigan blog.
August 14th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
@Scioto Srsly? You guys signed an arm punter. Seems like news.

Edit: I should have continuing reading before I posted an obvious response.

Me too.

Have you realized how many Michigan related topics are started daily on 11W and bucknuts?

You're living rent free in your mom's basement

Mods please remove this POS f-ckeye troll Scioto from this site.
August 15th, 2018 at 8:56 PM ^
Really, Scioto?
You tell me OSU fans don't think about the Michigan game all season (year) round? Michigan has been at the forefront of OSU's attention since 1951 (or before) when Woody could never stop thinking about Michigan. Woody put Michigan on the forefront of the mind of the entire state of Ohio and he did it deliberately.
...or perhaps you never realized that it was mutual? If not, then you should have.

Imagine they just want him to preserve their freshman's RS in case of emergency.
August 14th, 2018 at 2:28 PM ^
That is impossible. They are saying Tate Martell is next Drew Brees.
August 14th, 2018 at 2:37 PM ^
With the new redshirting rules, that's not much of a consideration anymore. You still need depth though.
August 15th, 2018 at 9:21 PM ^
The freshman is probably being redshirted regardless because he's coming off an injury. The depth at QB will allow the offense more flexibility with how it utilizes Martell.
Besides, you need at least 3 active (non-injured) QBs to start a season.
August 14th, 2018 at 2:18 PM ^
Our QB transfer is better than theirs.
August 15th, 2018 at 9:21 PM ^
I guess you win.
August 14th, 2018 at 2:20 PM ^
Let me guess....he has a stout build with six pack abs....which will be mentioned when someone writes a second draught.
August 14th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
so dana is going to replace urban and he's preloading the roster.....LOL
August 14th, 2018 at 2:45 PM ^
this is probably a dumb question, but who exactly signs off on this at osu? i’m guessing it’s normally the head coach, but since he’s on leave i’m assuming urbs can’t do so right now. not that it really matters, just curious
August 14th, 2018 at 3:24 PM ^
I personally believe that Urban is finding ways to puppeteer his little marionettes at OSU.
August 14th, 2018 at 3:40 PM ^
Exactly. Anyone who thinks Urban is sitting around his house having fun with his Bob Ross Coloring Kit and weeding the flower bed is delusional.
They are sending him live video feeds from practice and he is on the phone 24/7 with the staff.
August 14th, 2018 at 3:24 PM ^
This might have been in the works prior to Urb's suspension.
August 15th, 2018 at 12:32 AM ^
Can you send me the website of the Illini board that you post on then? Also, the irony of you saying "scUM" while your coach with the same initials is on paid leave is astounding.
August 14th, 2018 at 3:24 PM ^
Perhaps he will be the new Designated Driver for the coaching staff. Should be busy...
August 14th, 2018 at 7:47 PM ^
Can never have too many -ovs
