J.T. Barrett has picked up even more hardware. The Buckeye signal caller was named the Davey O'Brien Quarterback of the Week after his performance in Ohio State's comeback win on the road against Wisconsin. This is the first time in his career he's earned the award.
From a release from the award's website:
Barrett’s 7-yard touchdown pass in overtime was the difference in the Buckeyes’ 30-23 victory on Saturday, and kept Ohio State unbeaten on the year (6-0). On the evening, Barrett was 17 of 29 passing for 226 yards and one touchdown, and also ran 21 times for 92 yards and two scores.
The native of Wichita Falls, Texas, was also named the Big Ten Conference’s co-offensive player of the week after his 13th career game with more than 300 yards of total offense. Barrett’s game-winning touchdown pass made him the school record holder for touchdowns responsible for in a career with 89.
On the season, Barrett ranks seventh nationally in points responsible for (132), 10th in passing efficiency (159.3) and 12th in passing touchdowns (16). A semifinalist for the 2014 Davey O’Brien Award, he is the first Big Ten quarterback to claim the weekly honor in more than two years.
Barrett also set a new school record for career touchdowns accounted for this weekend (89), passing Braxton Miller's mark of 88 with what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown pass to Noah Brown.
