He was of fire in conditions that were worse than anything we've had on game day all year I believe.

Barrett was 27/33. Campbell predictably stone-handed one, and I remember a couple smart throw-aways. A couple shots deep didn't connect, but a couple did, and they're drawing PI calls on the misses at about a 75% rate. For the most part, JTB hit guys on-time, in-stride, with room to pickup YAC. He was decisive on the read-option, and Nebraska had absolutely no answer. Color commentator Joel Klatt, a former QB, was gushing about it being a 'perfect game,' and brought up the comparison that this was starting to look like Kevin Wilson's 2008 Oklahoma offense with Sam Bradford and DeMarco Murray. I mean, Gus went full Dennis Miller and dropped an Artie Fiedler reference, if that tells you anything.
Easily Barrett's most complete game since 2014 Sparty.

Okay, guys, it's: Parris Campbell ... Mike Weber ... Jalyn Holmes ... Joe Burrow ... Kendall Sheffield ... J.B. Shugarts ... and scarlet and gray (or grey, if you prefer).
Other than that, good thread.
Well, it's not exactly "in the genes"....
Nebraska should go the same route as Wisconsin - recruit a bunch of 320-pound OL, 280-pound TEs, 240-pound FBs, and run the tailback 60 times a game. That formula won't be enough to win NCs, but at least Nebby could create a nice niche for themselves and win 9+ games a year, compete for the West Division consistently, and earn the occasional conference title. What they're doing now just ain't working, and it won't work because they have no identity and they can't otherwise attract recruits based on location, facilities, coaching, recent success, academics, etc. Like Wisconsin and Iowa (and to a lesser extent Michigan State), Nebraska should go out and get a bunch of 3* kids that everyone else is overlooking and fit them into a system that has a proven track record of success in the Big Ten. Don't try to compete with Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, etc. for top-tier talent because those kids aren't coming your way (at least not enough of them to make any real difference).
The final tally (8 TD drives): 96 yards; 85 yards; 80 yards; 71 yards; 59 yards; 75 yards; 75 yards; 66 yards. It's really unusual to score 56 points and have all eight TDs come on long drives, with no short fields or outright scores from the defense or special teams. And outside of a couple of long plays (52-yard TD run by J.K. Dobbins, 31-yard TD reception by Terry McLaurin), the Buckeyes gained yards in medium-sized chunks (5 to 20 yards). Just total and complete domination by the Buckeyes.
The starters were still in the game because Mike Riley refused to do the classy thing and tap out down 42 points. The game was clearly over, but Riley was trying to save his job by showing how much "fight" his team still had, throwing on every down and using a "hurry up" offense. Well, it didn't work on the scoreboard as the Huskers still lost by 42, and it also might have cost him one of his best players as WR J.D. Spielman left the game with an apparent shoulder injury with 1:59 left ion the clock.

My observations..
1. JT is so confident right now. He just keeps getting better and better every game since OU. I'm sold that he's back. While NU wasn't a dominant defense to treat them like they were a mac school was impressive.
He ran for first downs when no one was open, threw people open constantly all night, gave his guys shots at 50/50 balls which drew a ton of PI calls, and connected for multiple 20+ yard throws.
2. The running backs have a great rotation right now. It's literally 1 drive on and 1 drive off. Dobbins is such a big play back and Weber is such a grinder. Similar backs but each has their own niche
3. We just keep adding things every week. First it was the crossing routes, then the quick flat passes, then RPO, Then we started hitting a few deep passes, then the lead blocking tight end, and now the tight ends are being used as weapons.
I feel like we can beat teams in so many different ways right now. We have such rythem, consistency and feel for what we want to do and it's beautiful to watch right now.
4. The wide outs have become one of our best units. They have started catching everything, they go up for passes, and they draw a huge amount of penalties too.
5. Offensive line was dominate. JT had all day to throw. Literally all day. At the same time though I dare PSU TO blitz and play man.
6. Our defense played great but I'm a little disappointed we didn't get any sacks. However the front did shut down the run though.
7. This game should have had full on back ups in the game by mid 3rd quarter but Riley kept sending his starters out. You couple that with a more lax defensive approach and I can understand why NU found success late in the game.
8. Secondary looked good but gave up 4 big pass plays. We can't let Webb or Fuller guard small shifty slot WRs. It burned us multiple times including a 77 yard TD.
I'm kind of bummed Ward didn't make the play on the ball in the end zone when he had the opportunity. However he just timed it wrong and he probably makes that play 9 of 10 times.
9. This runaway freight train just lost its break while going down hill. We haven't been this hot since 2014 and now we get 2 weeks to heal up, prepare for Ped, and to remember how they won last year.
As Lou Brown said... "its starting to come together!"
