J.T. BARRETT CONTINUED HIS ASSAULT ON OHIO STATE'S RECORD BOOKS WITH BIG DAY AGAINST BOWLING GREEN
As part of our season preview series we chronicled the list of career Ohio State records potentially primed to fall over the course of year. As you'd expect, J.T. Barrett highlighted the list as he's a real threat to break, or keep a hold of, no less than 10 school marks.
As you'd also expect, after completing 21 of 31 passes for 349 yards and six touchdowns with another score on the ground, Barrett is moving on up the Ohio State career records board.
Here's how Saturday's big game impacted his march to legendary status.
CAREER PASSING YARDS PER GAME
Entering Saturday, Joe Germaine was the school’s all-time leader in career passing yards per game at 172.2 after throwing for 6,370 yards in 37 games.
Also entering Saturday, Barrett sat in 2nd place with a 166.3 passing yards per game average thanks to 3,826 passing yards in 23 career contests. After going off for those 349 yards versus Bowling Green, Barrett is your new all-time school leader boasting an average of 173.9 passing yards per game (4,175 passing yards in 24 games).
CAREER 200-YARD PASSING GAMES
With 349 on Saturday, Barrett logged his 10th career 200+ yard passing game moving him just one behind Germaine's school record of 11 such outings. To date, Germaine played 13 more games than Barrett so it's hard to envision Barrett not breaking the record Saturday night in Oklahoma or else after the bye week against Rutgers.
CAREER 300-YARD PASSING GAMES
Besides opening the BG game with a pick six Barrett was largely on target the rest of the afternoon on the way to those 349 passing yards. The 300-yard effort marked his 5th such outing, good for 2nd place in school annals.
Again, Germaine is the benchmark here with eight such games. Breaking this mark isn't a gimme for Barrett but is definitely reachable.
