J.T. Barrett has four total TDs as Buckeyes rout Penn State
He did a few of that not in tandem with Jones, like it worked last week, but in relief of him after Jones got pulled in the third quarter. Barrett also ran for two first-half touchdowns. Penn State DE Carl Nassib has10 sacks himself and the Lions’ defense has 25.
Despite the numbers, offensive line coach and offensive coordinator Ed Warinner thought the Buckeyes did a solid job keeping Nassib in check.
“We’re blessed here, (that) an institution has such great tradition and history”, Smith said. “It was probably the hardest fought game I ever played”.
For the second consecutive week, OSU scored points in all six of its trips to the red zone. A ball off anybody’s hands in this one could lead to an interception and on the road that gets the crowd into it from the get go and could make a loud environment even tougher to deal with. Jones was back in the game, and this time the Buckeyes started using Miller in the backfield, as well. The touchdown was his fourth of the season.
Elliott ran 27 times for 153 yards and a touchdown. Once in the red zone, in comes Barrett to punch the ball into the end zone.
Again, with all due respect to Jones, Barrett has earned at seeing what he can do for a full game.
Does Braxton solidify himself as a playmaker? He ran two touchdowns in and made an incredible play where he feigned a run and found Braxton Miller wide open for the touchdown. In receiving, DeSean Hamilton had 49 yards and one touchdown while Brandon Polk added 46 yards and one touchdown in two catches. J.T. Barrett would take over for Cardale Jones in the red zone and would make plays happen with his legs as he ran in for a five yard touchdown runs. “Good young guy, incredible player, incredible future”. “The offensive line, and myself in particular, needs to protect better”. Those issues appeared to have been addressed heavily in practice during the week, as no flags flew in the O-line’s direction on Saturday. Both quarterbacks will again play, and each brings a unique skillset to the field. Elliott is second in the Big Ten and No. 8 nationally with 139.2 rushing yards per game.
The drumbeat for J.T. Barrett to overtake Cardale Jones as Ohio State’s starting quarterback is only getting louder. “The holes they were opening today were just so big”. The Buckeyes are wearing new alternate jerseys that Nike made specially for them. I just got whacked pretty good. Their conference victories have come at the expense of Indiana and Maryland.

While the Buckeyes have allowed each of the last two opposing quarterbacks to rush for more than 100 yards, the senior leaders on defense know their teammates have the right focus as they head into this weekend’s home game against Penn State.
Perhaps the only black eye on the secondary’s performance game by way of penalties. Gareon Conley was flagged for both pass interference and a late hit.
“Historically, when Northwestern has experienced any disappointment – small scale or big scale – they rebound strong”, Ferentz said. When he has protection he can sit in the pocket and pick apart a secondary.
