THE THEORETICAL BACKUP: WHY JOE BURROW BETTER KNOW THE LOCATION OF HIS CHINSTRAP AT ALL TIMES
Joe Burrow is, as of this writing, a nonentity in Ohio State sports. A redshirt freshman, he was an afterthought as the Cardale/Barrett quarterback controversy raged on last season, and now that J.T. Barrett is etched in stone as the starter at quarterback for the 2016 season, Burrow can safely sit at the end of the bench and stare wistfully into space for three hours every Saturday this fall. Right?
Actually, probably not! In fact, Burrow better start warming up right freaking now in anticipation of having to jump in at a moment's notice should J.T. Barrett get hurt or otherwise not be available to play. And of course I know that on a certain level, you as an Ohio State fan already get this. We've seen a third string quarterback lead an overachieving group of misfits to a natty and then get his ass drafted in the fourth round.
But maybe you think that was some kind of glorious anomaly, a shiny Diglett in a swarm of Zubats, a hunk of chocolate in a bag of healthy trail mix. While I'm certainly hoping that that's the case so that Ohio State can go on to have a lot of success without an injury or controversy, statistically we're both spitting into the wind a little bit on this one.

Our church has no bells.
As in the spring game, he ran the ball effectively and better than I might've otherwise expected. A couple of mistakes, but overall he was ok. I would've liked to see him log more snaps but McCall fixed that by housing the short pass. We need Burrow to distribute the ball accurately and run effectively when it's there to be taken.

What happened to my ¤cash?
Had a hell of a showing in mop up time against Nebby. Spun the ball like a badass.
Congrats kid, the keys to the car will be yours some day soon enough.

Yeah, too many people overlook Joe as the heir apparent with some great athletes coming in. He is for real.

Thing with Joey and it's been the case since his HS days is he makes great decisions throwing the ball. He is a ton like Colt McCoy but a tad slower. If you ask me when it comes to completion percentages and not throwing pics Joey is going to be tough to beat out one day for the starting role

You know what? Chicken butt.
Don't say that a honkie can't make for a good running QB. JB can scoot.

You should catch hell because that's an absurd statement given their bodies of work. I'm a huge fan of Joe but he is not better than JT. Not yet anyhow

There was also a certain point in the game that Nebby rolled over and took it. I'm certain JT was still on the field at that point.

No doubt. I've come to realize that JT has some limitations, but I wouldn't trade him for anyone.
But I do feel good about 2018 when JT is gone.
