Penn State fan: Did you know that Saquon Barkley set a Penn State record yesterday with 38 rushing TDs? I mean, what can JT Barrett do to touch that?

Ohio State fan: Well, he also has 38 rushing TDs. Oh, and more than 100 in total.

J.T. Barrett’s Final Exit in Ohio Stadium

IMG_16591-1170x780.jpg


Saturday in Ohio Stadium was just another day for J.T. Barrett.

Through his five years and four played seasons at Ohio State, the quarterback from Wichita Falls, Texas, has been the face of the Ohio State football program for much of that time and has faced unparalleled scrutiny for a player with 141 career touchdowns and 35 Big Ten or school records.

That noise has never distracted Barrett. However, he did pay attention to the noise from the crowd as he jogged out of the tunnel in the Horseshoe for the final time as a Buckeye.

He patted his chest twice, pointed up to the heavens with his name and No. 16 announced through the stadium speakers and jogged out to the 40-yard line where head coach Urban Meyer embraced him.

“J.T., J.T., J.T.” was chanted throughout the stadium. Barrett embraced his parents and gave his mother roses, just like the 18 seniors that were recognized Saturday did before him.

Then it was business as usual.

Barrett led the Buckeyes to four straight touchdown drives to begin the game against overmatched Illinois, and exited the game with 5:44 remaining in the second quarter and a 38-0 lead. The Buckeyes had 351 yards in Barrett’s six-plus first-half drives on 40 plays.

“There’s a last thing for everything,” Barrett said. “With that, I tried to do my best while I was out playing here in Ohio Stadium and I think we went out in a good way as far as the seniors today.”

He finished Ohio State’s 52-14 victory 11-for-19 passing for 141 yards and two touchdowns; and rushed for 33 yards with one score on five carries.

Yes, it’s Illinois, but the offense still had to execute and Barrett did his job like Meyer expects him to do every time.

Barrett’s final game was thought to be over, until Meyer sent him and the first-team offense back on the field after three straight fruitless drives from the backups.

“I was so pissed,” Meyer said. “I just didn’t want it to turn into a clown show, which it looked like it for a minute.”

The three-time captain threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Baugh in a five-play, 29-yard drive.

Griese is an uninformed douche.

Article from before the Michigan Game:
We need to talk about Alex Hornibrook
In 10 games, Hornibrook has completed just over 64 percent of his passes, throwing for 1,863 yards and 17 touchdowns. Unfortunately, he has also thrown 12 interceptions, including a pick-six at Nebraska and two pick-sixes last week against Iowa. Ball control (or lack thereof) has been a recurring theme. Hornibrook has thrown an interception in all but two games (against less-than-stellar Utah State and BYU defenses). In Big Ten play, he has been picked off 11 times, including multi-interception games against Northwestern, Purdue, and Iowa.

Result from Michigan game:
Hornibrook completed just nine of his 19 pass attempts for 143 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

Yea that one was especially egregious. I haven't had much opportunity to watch half these guys for more than a game, and I can appreciate that JT has had 2 stinkers this year ... but jesus, Hornibrook? GTFOH.

Haskins better learn the zone read .,I for one am not counting out Martell.

From what I've seen he does alright with it. Not on JT or Braxton's level but he gets yards consistently behind his own 2nd string OLine. I think we're reaching a point where we'd like to go away from it anyway... defenses have iterated. The next step is probably RPO, and Haskins might be better at that.
For now it's one of JT's strongest plays, so it'll remain a core part of the offense. I did notice against MSU and Illinois we did more designed runs and Coaches seemed to instruct JT to hand it off regardless of read sometimes and just let Weber and Dobbins earn their yards the hard way... but when he did keep it, that led to a couple of situations where DE crashed hard on the RB anticipating they'd get the ball... and that left JT to pick up huge chunks while not getting blasted as frequently.
