J.T. BARRETT'S EXPERIENCE WILL BE INVALUABLE FOR OHIO STATE IN 2017
For the first time since the 2006 season, Ohio State will have a senior starting quarterback. And as a fifth year that's seen meaningful action in all three previous years of eligibility, J.T. Barrett is undoubtedly the most experienced quarterback in the country, and that's great news for the Buckeyes.
Through three seasons, there's virtually nothing the Buckeye signal caller has not seen or faced – on the field or off. He's fought through injuries – sometimes playing through them, battled for playing time, dealt with coaching changes, made mistakes off the field, played in front of hostile crowds against the nation's top teams, led his team to thrilling overtime victories and been at the helm for one of the most crushing defeats in recent memory.
But it's not just experience, Barrett's had almost uncanny success through his three years as a starter. The Buckeye signal caller is a ridiculous 26-4 as a starter, 3-0 against Michigan and is perhaps the most decorated quarterback in Ohio State history with 21 school records to his name before his career has even come to a close.
Some fans are quick to call for a change at the position after worse-than-expected offensive production the past two seasons, but with Barrett returning and his track record behind him, one is not coming.
"You see what J.T.'s done," said new quarterbacks coach Ryan Day when asked if Barrett was the clear-cut starter. "It goes without saying."
