JT Barrett: Judge suspends Barrett’s license for 180 days
Barrett must also complete a three-day alcohol education program, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
Wearing a dark brown suit, Barrett apologized in court to his family, the Ohio State football program and to Buckeye fans. Barrett was disciplined by the team for receiving a citation for driving while impaired on October 31. In addition to being suspended for last week’s Minnesota game, Barrett will forfeit his summer financial aid, coach Urban Meyer said.
Cardale Jones did not have a great game, but he had two killer plays.
Meyer said Barrett told him he did not believe he was impaired.Barrett was home October 31 relaxing with friends when a heavily intoxicated friend stopped by and Barrett made a decision to drive him home, said Barretts attorney, Phil Templeton. Why Ohio State Will Win Forget about the quarterback situation – the defense has taken care of business as it’s jelling at just the right time.
Barrett missed Saturday’s 28-14 win against Minnesota and backup Cardale Jones threw for 187 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 65 yards and a score. “I’m just truly sorry for that”.
Barrett was suspended for last week’s game, but is the likely starter heading into Saturday’s game at IL. His OVI incident came during an off-week for Ohio State and Barrett blew a 0.099, above the legal blood-alcohol limit of 0.08. Minnesota has three games left, all against teams which now have a winning record, and will need to win two of them.
Clemson (9-0) remained No. 1, followed by Alabama (8-1), OSU (9-0), Notre Dame (8-1), Iowa (9-0), and Baylor (9-0).
MILLER BACK: Ohio State’s star-crossed receiving corps received a rare dose of good news Tuesday when Meyer declared senior hybrid back Braxton Miller “good to go” for Saturday.
But as it became apparent that a depleted unit of wide receivers was making it more hard to stretch the field, that the pass protection wasn’t quite as solid as it had been in the past and that crashing defenders were clogging up rushing lanes for star tailback Ezekiel Elliott, there was really no choice for Ohio State but to bring it back. I look for a combination of Ferguson and Ke’Shawn Vaughn to be a force that Ohio State has yet to see this season. “He can. I think what happened to him a year ago is still fresh in his mind”. That’s coming up soon with MI State and MI up next, but going to IL would be a unsafe landmine to get over.
