QB J.T. Barrett (B1G FOY, All American, Silver Football Award, 3x B1G QBOY, National Champion)

OVI penalties should be progressive like speeding violations. I've always thought it unfair to treat someone who blows a .08 the same as someone who blows a .16, but that's the world we live in. I don't agree with the law, but JT broke it and got caught. He also broke team rules by drinking in the first place. Give him the chance to pay his debt to the team by suspending him for however many games the rules dictate, and I'm sure he'll work twice as hard when his suspension is over.

Lol I just got caught with my first speeding ever and it totally wasn't progressive in that area. Hell they just had a list of charges circle what they did and circle the number of offenses and the number of offenses determine what you pay. It was probably a win for me as they clocked me going 77 in a 60 passing a car but I always though they were progressive as well.

Have seen a ton of media today... TV and in print... and must say, very few are pillorizing JT's character... beyond ranting about indefensible evils of DWI
contraire.. it's MEYER's character and OSU's reputation that are being pillorized...

Yeah, some in the media are saying it's a joke that Meyer/OSU didn't abide by their own punishment for this offense with JT missing only 1 game instead of 2. Now the writers who have been waiting for something to justify their ongoing critique of Meyer's discipline/culture are getting something to add to their litany of complaints.

This allows our third string QB to get some garbage time experience. That will help sometimes in the future.

I would not be surprised to see Miller as QB inside the red zone. It's time to use all his skills and throwing the ball is one of them.

And that discipline/culture they want to justify would be...?

I'm pretty sure sure the University made the call base on its policies. Smith explained it quite succinctly.

 

[Onebuckfan]

Has UFM said a word yet? I do know he's glad the book tour was last week? This is hard to defend..JT has a serious lapse in judgment GS explained the school policy.Iam sure Urban will let JT know what he needs to do to see the field again this year.

Naturally, I wish the best for both Cardale and JT, that they get to both go to the NFL and do well.

But Another silver lining is that, in my thinking, this ups the odds that neither jumps to the NFL after this season. That increases the odds of a three peat.

 

[UpNorth_Buckeye]

Well he'd be dead if he blew that number.

He'd be dead well before he even had the chance to get there.

Well what was incorrect was that the 2 game requirement was being thrown around early, but then later in the day it came out that since it was a misdemeanor and not a felony that was incorrect. Technically zero discipline required. I still would have gone 2 games, but it could have been zero (with a ton of public backlash, rightfully so).

Pretty sure Cardale is a senior.

 

[UpNorth_Buckeye]

Pretty sure Cardale is a senior.

Redshirt junior. He was a grayshirt at fork union, so he was a year behind braxton even though they were in the same class as each other out of high school.

Positive he is not. Cardale is a junior.

Urban at Florida? Sure. But hasn't been at osu. So if they're really trying to go back 5+ years to a different program, good for them.

 

[jlb1705]

Thanks for the sanctimonious hot takes, everybody. You did not disappoint.

Yep. Which would be totally irrelevant for his tenure at Ohio State...
