J.T. Barrett has always seemed like something of an anachronism at Ohio State, at least where image is concerned. In terms of talent and stats, he's every bit the human pachinko machine that Urban Meyer likes to see on the field. But amongst his peers like Braxton and Cardale, he's been the Very Serious Man who just wants to distribute and win.
And he has! Barrett already has one Fiesta Bowl victory under his belt, two Michigan wins, school records all over the place, all accolades that ten years ago would lend itself to three thousand word thinkpieces about how he might be the best ever.
But in 2016, that's not enough. So this week, as we preview Clemson and the Fiesta Bowl, we talk a lot about J.T. Barrett and what he has to do to further cement his legacy as a Buckeye and maybe hit back on some trash talk that's been thrown his way.
Also, Heath Cline! Heath is one of the most knowledgeable sports guys in the south when it comes to anything football, and he drops some really interesting Clemson tidbits that might add some spice to the upcoming game.
Also, make sure that you're sending in those Ask Us Anything questions, because no matter how Saturday plays out I'm sure you'll be wanting answers.
0:00- FOOTBALL IS BACK! Will the layoff hurt the Buckeyes? Help? Eeeehhh...
6:32- J.T. got some shade (okay, less shade and more "a direct statement of factual information about his play this season"), so let's see how he responds.
14:03- Heath Cline! Great guest and one really weird anecdote.
33:03- Beau and I lay out our three keys to the game on Saturday, so please write these down and then laugh at how dumb we are later.
And that'll do it! Thanks as always to Travis for the logo, thanks to you for listening, and hopefully next week we're breaking down a big time game against the Washington Huskies!
