So which JT Barrett IV will show up to this game?
2014 version 16 of 26 for 300 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT - 14 carries 86 yards, 2 TDs OSU scores 49 JT actually lets Zeke get some carries - 23 carries 154 yards for Zeke
2015 version 9 of 16 for 46 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT - 15 carries 44 yards OSU scores just 14 JT carries it more than Zeke 1st drive - Zeke gets 1 carry - Ohio State punts 2nd drive Zeke gets 8 carries - Ohio State scores a TD and takes a 7-0 lead Zeke had 3 carries the entire rest of the game - JT ball hog-athon the rest of the game so lots of 3 & outs
2016 version 10 of 22 for 86 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT - 24 carries 105 yards OSU scores just 17 vs a (3-9) Spartan team JT carries it more than Weber - (Weber 14 carries, 111 yards but JT wouldn't let him get carries)
Is JT going to ball hog? Is JT going to throw it downfield when the opponent dares him to? Iowa dared him every single play jumping short/intermediate routes leaving guys open deep. JT decided to throw 4 picks short/intermediate instead of TD's deep.

More like which team will show up? The one that’s more talented than almost every team in the country or the one the last two weeks?

Yet still the Buckeyes could win the Big 10 and go to the Playoffs or a really good bowl. So not a bad position to be in.

No way is Ohio State getting into the playoffs with 2 losses, even if they win the rest of their games and win the Big Ten championship game. It's just not happening.

OSU is not going to the playoffs this year. Anyone that thinks that is just down right dumb about college football. JT has yet to play/show up in any championship game. I would expect another loss before seasons end. The fire is gone with this team, unless they are playing teams like The Sisterhood of Blind Students. This has to be one of the worst seasons in recent memory with all the talent and hype they had coming into the season.
I think Iowa scouted JT and scouted him very well. They knew he isn't good downfield and they jumped all the short routes, which is his bread and butter.

^^^Yep, OSU will lose 1 or 2 more games and it's a lock that JT Barrett IV will have at least one more horrendous game. MSU, Michigan and a Bowl Game. If he's lucky a Big Ten Champ game. The last 2 times JTIV has played the Spartans he's thrown for an atrocious 46 & 86 yards and ball hogged it from his RB's. I'm expecting more of the same from him this Saturday.
Prediction MSU 17 OSU 14 JT Barrett IV with an abysmal 121 yards passing (but his best performance vs Sparty since 2014) JT Barrett IV with another ball hog performance where he carries it the most times on the team

I just hope that the coaches have a better game plan this week and that the team comes ready to play after two straight weeks of not being ready.

One can hope but this late in the season, don't you think its a little much to ask ron.

I guess I'm confused by that. Coaches can always have better gameplans, no matter what week it is and get a team prepared to play. There's still 3 games left in the regular season, plus a possible Big Ten title game and a bowl game so no, not too much to ask. There's still a lot to play for.

No way is Ohio State getting into the playoffs with 2 losses, even if they win the rest of their games and win the Big Ten championship game. It's just not happening. If Ohio State wins the Big 10 and no other conference champion has less than 2 losses then Ohio State could be selected. They probably won't merit the selection since Iowa was a terrible loss, but they do have a good fan base. Here's how it may play out: SEC-AL-13-0, GA-11-2 (loses to Auburn & AL), Auburn-9-3 (loses to AL). ACC-Clemson-12-1, Miami-11-2 (loses to ND and Clemson) Oklahoma 11-1, TCU 10-2 (loses to OK), OK State 9-3 (loses to Iowa St) PAC 12 Washington 10-3 (loses to USC and Stanford), USC 10-3 (wins out) Independent- Notre Dame 10-2 (loses @ Stanford) Big 10- Ohio State 11-2, Wisconsin 10-3 (loses to Michigan or Iowa) So the committee selects AL, Clemson, OK and then picks from Ohio State, Notre Dame, USC and Georgia. I'm not saying it's going to happen but if you think it's impossible you haven't been paying attention to college football the last several years. Also it would help if Ohio State beat Michigan St, Michigan and then Wisconsin by ALOT!!

We all thought the demons of the Oklahoma game had been addressed and expelled. Much like Oklahoma, we basically sucked in every phase of the game. This was a total team failure and all that took the field in Iowa must share the blame and that blame extends to the entire coaching staff. One could never imagine an elite program of Ohio State status, to be so ill-prepared.
Amazingly, the Buckeyes still control their own fate in the Big Ten. Restoring respect, pride, integrity, self confidence, begins with Michigan State.
This years team, as talented as they are, remains a mystery to most observers.

Urban has some big time 'splaining to do. He choked away the Best Team in the Nation by benching 12 Gauge for JT, who promptly got suspended and beaten at home by MSU and a back up QB and missed the playoffs (this was the best team Urban had in his tenure here).
Now we're coming off two 31 point losses in our last 10 games, after multiple highly ranked recruiting classes. Horrible special teams. Penalty after penalty. Unchecked hubris by our "leader" JT Barrett who took to the airwaves after barely beating a really bad PSU team and he comes at us with the, "I told you so" attitude. This is not leadership. This is malarkey.
ONE Big-10 title in 6 seasons, WITH TRESSEL'S QB!
What exactly has Urban accomplished here in his tenure? A National Title he lucked into cause his chosen one got hurt, and a bunch of bad losses in the last two years. MSU, Iowa, Clemson, Oklahoma...come on man. Clemson is a better program than us? What planet am I on?
We got a used up Urban. I liked the Urban who died with every loss, not sad pizza eating after a loss Urban. This program here at OSU is mirroring his last days at FLA. A quick spike in his first few seasons then a steep decline soon after. All just a little bit of history repeating.
Can't see him here for too much longer. I think Urban is done. He never had staying power to begin with. And now he is old. Man, he looks OLD this season, like he aged 10 years in the last 2. He isn't in Saban's class any longer imho.

a fan of who? the coach?
I'm a Buckeye fan son, not an Urban fan. If you all wanna keep genuflecting in his presence that's on you and has nothing to do with OSU.
I was wearing Scarlet and Gray in 2007, what colors were Urban wearing? I live in Columbus, this crap is real to me. Maybe you millennial snowflakes are ok getting mud stomped by 31 every half dozen games but I assure you with the utmost confidence that I am not. And neither are BUCKEYE fans.
This ain't 4ucking Cleveland. We don't have to tolerate this crap. Roll your sleeves up and go to work Urban, you're cashing a BIG state check. I watched Tress get his can blown up for losses to FLA and LSU and let me tell you something, NEITHER OF THOSE LOSSES WERE BY 31 POINTS.
Gtfooh with that pansy ace everyone gets a ribbon garbage. Why don't you two go hold hands or something? I wanna WIN.

all this crap about his undefeated season WE DIDN'T PLAY IN A BOWL GAME OR A BIG 10 TITLE GAME OF COURSE WE WENT UNDEFEATED!
HOW DO YOU GO 0-2 VS CLEMSON WHEN THEY WERE CLEMSONING?!?! Open your eyes tools, the emperor is naked.

A) I'm not your son B) I'm not a millennial and the only people that use that term for an excuse are old white people C) something tells me Urban isn't happy about what happened on Saturday D) Tressel's teams weren't in either of those games you mentioned F) if you want Urb out who do you replace him with? I'll wait while you come up with someone who isn't even half the coach Urban is

i didn't say fire him i just wanna let everyone know he isn't above being held accountable for the garbage i've seen the last 10 months, he craps between two shoes just like everyone elser
he's got his chosen QB, a Senior, and the best DL in the Nation, no freaking excuses...i still wanna know why 12 Gauge was benched, maybe you all wanna gloss that AWFUL decision over but like i said, that was a terrible decision and one that no one should make
but i always wanted D'Antonio and that was who i wanted when Tress left but for what we are paying Coach Meyer he needs to get a handle on this crap
don't all these ridiculous penalties get to you guys? that is all coaching! we're 10 games in!

I will go on record and say that last year, I was the only one who said Urban is not staying in Ohio much longer (<3 years). I got my Poop jumped on. Urban isn't Saban. He doesn't hang with a program 5,6,7 years +. He gets in and gets out. JT was a pure embarrassment. He checked down to short routes all game and IOWA jumped his Poop. JT has had just over 15 minutes of excellent play against a good team this year. If that is stellar, then you OSU fans are ******* idiots.

12 Gauge got benched because he wasn't playing very well. 12 Gauge still put up better numbers than Barrett that year. CJ never lost a game he started. JT Barrett IV has made 31 point losses a normal thing in Columbus with 2 of them in the last 10 games.
