Ohio State had identified J.T. Barrett as its quarterback for the homestretch of the 2015 season, but the redshirt sophomore quarterback was arrested for operating a vehicle while impaired Saturday morning, which earned him a one-game suspension from head coach Urban Meyer.
That suspension has put Cardale Jones in the spotlight, and he'll get one more chance to impress as the top-ranked Buckeyes (8-0) host Minnesota (4-4) in a prime-time showdown this Saturday night, Nov. 7.
The Gophers are coming off a tumultuous week, as former head coach Jerry Kill announced his retirement due to health concerns.
