FOLKS... PLEASE RAISE YOUR GLASSES IN THE AIR! THE TEAM WE ALL LOVE TO KNOW, THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES, IS A CRISPY 1-0.
Where to start? How about with The Iron King, Cardale Jones, First of His Name, Poacher of Badgers, Controller of Tides, Slayer of Ducks, Troll Sultan, and 12th Son of Ohio as the winner of #QBgeddon.
Offensive coordinator Ed Warinner on Cardale Jones: "He won the job down the stretch."

For some reason, groupthink (of which I fell victim) seemed to reach a consensus that J.T. Barrett — the savvy leader and the first hand-picked QB of the Urban Meyer regime — had sealed the deal in camp.
We may not know shit, but apparently neither did Virginia Tech's team of well-paid professionals:
Virginia Tech staff is expecting to see JT Barrett at QB tonight for Ohio State. "If it isn't him, we'd be shocked," one VT coach told me.

In their defense, they got the shocked part right:

And to the victors go the post-game tweets:

This team drips swagger. And I'm not talking that gelled-haired teeny-bopper bullshit either. I'm talking "hungry wolf in the forest" swagger. So try to remember that the next time you see people tweeting through their feelings about a three-point halftime deficit. This team is never out of it — no matter the deficit.
This team has a bond like no other man i swear.. I love yall boys!

Good game to Virginia Tech, but frankly I won't lose any sleep if I never hear about "the Bear defense" ever again.
R.I.P. to the Bear defense nonetheless.
Tim will be through at 6 a.m. with the game notebook. For everything else, check out my good friends at ElevenWarriors.com.
It's onto the Rainbow Warriors now, and for their sake I hope they carry good insurance because an angry Joey Bosa is headed for their jugular.
THOSE WMDs. The Man Who Loved Grizzlies... The Unwritten Rules of the NFL... The (Ice Cream) Cold War... Beverly Hills sure seems cool and chill... How to spot a liar.
