Columbus- When it comes to Michigan, Ohio State senior captain Kirk Barton has proven he knows how to enjoy a victory, and now he's eager to show he can lead a rebound.
After Saturday's 28-21 loss to Illinois, the Buckeyes' right tackle skipped his postgame meal with his family for the first time in his career to head to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center and start watching video of Michigan. He took in the Oregon game, some of the Penn State and all the clips of Michigan's various blitz schemes in a one-man, three-hour session that lasted until 11 p.m.
"My family didn't have anything to do with it, I'm just not a good guy to be around after we lose like that," Barton said. "I didn't really invite anyone else to come in. I was just sitting there by myself, breaking stuff down."
