To talk about him being the best QB in tOSU history is silly. By the time he leaves? Sure.

The B1G was better when Troy played. The offense wasn't expected to outsource every opponent.

In 2005 sure, but in 2006 and 2004? Eh not sure about that. Plus you could make an argument that JT's gone up against better defenses than Troy did when he won the Heisman.

JT is outdoing as a FS Frosh what Troy did as a RS Heisman winning Senior. 3k yards? check. 31 TDs? um, yeah, JT has 38 with at least four games to go.
beat Ped State? Troy lost to those pederast bastards in '05. so did Pryor in '08. JT put the team on his back, and BEAT THEM.

honest question: what does Barrett need to do to meet your Troy Smith 'benchmark?' 4k yards and 50 TDs? go undefeated? is THAT the benchmark?
'04, 4 losses. '05, 2 losses, '06, 1 loss. what's the benchmark?

Troy Smith was a Wolverine killer. That's the benchmark as far as I'm concerned. And it's just a matter of time.

The '95 team had the Outland, Lombardi, Belitnikoff, Walter Camp, Maxwell, and Heisman Trophy winners on it... Just saying'...

They also played against an actually good B1G schedule in an era where you could touch a WR down field and didn't play an uptempo spread offense.

Not sure any current CFB QB thrives in that era to be honest.

Not yet you couldn't. The defenses Troy played against were roughly 20% better statistically and relative to their era. While Indiana will further that gap this week, both scUM and Wisky (#1,assuming we play them) are top 10 so far this sesaon.

The average opposing defense against OSU in 2006 was ranked 54.4 and gave up 331.3 ypg and 22.6 ppg
The average opposing defense against OSU in 2014 (so far) was ranked 65.6 and gave up 397.3 ypg and 26.7 ppg

Also we are now running 74.4 plays per game versus 63.1 in '06.

I would agree with Buckyle and say Troy puts up similar #s in this offense, but man I do love me some JT and can't wait for the next couple of seasons with him in this offense
