Through three quarters against No. 3 Michigan last weekend Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett was frankly stinking up the joint.
The redshirt junior out of Wichita Falls, Texas had completed only 9 of 23 passes for 57 yards and an interception with another 52 yards on the ground via 12 carries as the Buckeyes trailed the Wolverines 17-14 in the Shoe.
But as he's often done during his tenure in Columbus, Barrett got back on track when the Buckeyes needed him most. After that sluggish start, Barrett completed 6 of 9 passes in the 4th quarter and overtimes for 67 yards with another 73 yards on the ground including a 7-yard touchdown run putting Ohio State in front 24-17 in the first overtime session.
