UT's Dantin to start as quarterback against OSU

Austin Dantin (4) of Toledo, looks to the flat for a wide receiver screen, during the game, at Miami University, Saturday, October 31, 2009.

University of Toledo football coach Tim Beckman said Wednesday that junior quarterback Austin Dantin will take the first snap against Ohio State on Saturday.

Beckman also said sophomore Terrance Owens will see time against the Buckeyes.

The pair split time in the Rockets' season-opening 58-22 victory over New Hampshire last Thursday at the Glass Bowl, along with redshirt freshman Dwight Macon.

Dantin was 15-of-21 passing for 161 yards and three touchdowns in six series against the Wildcats. Owens was 10-of-13 for 122 yards and two touchdowns in five series, and Macon completed both of his pass attempts for 21 yards while also rushing for 43 yards and a touchdown.
