J.T. Barrett forces three-way Heisman conversation with snow-stopping performance

It doesn’t seem possible.

The Heisman Trophy conversation seems to be a two-horse race between Oregon’s Marcus Mariota and Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott. But you can put Ohio State’s J.T. Barrett right beside those two after his latest monster performance in No. 8 Ohio State’s 31-24 win against No. 25 Minnesota.

Forget the human element. Barrett can’t be stopped by anybody right now, not even Mother Nature. He made that clear with an 86-yard touchdown run in the first quarter in which he outran two Minnesota safeties to the end zone.

Barrett is on arguably the most-impressive two-game run of the season. A week after hitting up Michigan State for 386 total yards (300 pass, 86 rush) and five TDs, he racked up 387 total yards (198 pass, 189 rush) and four total TDs against the Gophers. That’s 773 yards and nine TDs.

Cont'd ...

All due respect to JT, what is happening on his side of the ball right now is due to scheme and personnel. I cannot think of a time in my life that the weapons have been as balanced as they are today.

Receivers, running backs and the QB are all highly capable of doing significant damage on any play. Urb has talked about how difficult that is to shut down and we're seeing the fruit of this staff's efforts.

That said, hat off to the kid. Hand the keys to a F1 car to a kid doesn't mean he can drive it. This kid is driving it at a very high level.

Not every QB can run the scheme correctly tho.

I guess my point was that no QB has ever been successful without some kind of scheme and personnel. I can't take away anything from Montana or Manning because of those two things IMO. Not saying JT is either of those guys mind you, but he is one hell of a player. He has all of the mental tools needed to be able to run a system like this. Also IMO, this didn't become an F1 offense without him.

Uh, I'd gladly take the 2006 receiving core and backfield over this one.

He broke one of Troys records right? That's why I'm bringing up that team.

I think I might take 05 too.
