Similar Stories to Who’s Inaccurate, Ohio State’s Barrett Or Critics? on Bing News

COLUMBUS — J.T. Barrett wins football games and wins awards but can’t seem to win in the court of public opinion. Ohio State is 27-4 in games Barrett has started the last four seasons. He was the first-team All-Big Ten quarterback last season. This week he shared Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors with Penn State running back Saquon Barkley after throwing for 304 yards and three touchdowns in a 49-21 win over Indiana last Thursday. In a more rational world than the one that surrounds Ohio State football and most big-time college football teams, the storyline on Barrett heading into Saturday night’s match-up of Top Ten teams between OSU and Oklahoma might be about the advantages of the Buckeyes having a quarterback who has started most of the last four seasons. Instead, he is hearing his accuracy on deep throws questioned again after Indiana coach Tom Allen said the Hoosiers’ defense was built around the idea that Barrett isn’t an accurate passer. There are probably some Ohio State fans more excited about the news that back-up Joe Burrow has been throwing and is close to returning than they are about Barrett. “Everybody has their opinion,” was Barrett’s response to Allen’s words and possibly to his critics in OSU’s fan base, which was reminiscent of Bob Hoying’s reply to criticism in the mid-1990s: “It goes with the territory.” Any starting quarterback in a major college situation will hear criticism.
