The narrative was Ohio State's national title hopes died when Braxton Miller went down, but Taiwan Jones thinks Ohio State upgraded at the position.
While I think most would agree J.T. Barrett's arm strength doesn't compare to Miller's, J.T. is certainly a more polished quarterback than Miller was at the same age. But, that's also a testament to the coaching Barrett received from Tom Herman and Urban Meyer.
Jones also minced no words when it came to a potential rivalry with Ohio State:
Jones: "Whether they think it's rivalry or not, we are going to treat it like one."

With chirping happening from both sides, this weekend's clash could be testy from the start. Ohio State kicks off against Michigan State at 8 p.m. on Saturday.
