He could't tackle J.T. Barrett either (on a key 4th quarter play):

Ohio State’s J.T. Barrett scampered to an Ohio State victory over Michigan

Despite an up-and-down performance from the offense, the quarterback’s legs won them the football game.

Although it looked like the Wolverine defense was gassed in the fourth quarter — which allowed Barrett to find open receivers -- the game was won on his legs. They designed 15 runs for him, which is about the average this season and he was forced to scramble on seven drop backs. If the sack yardage was subtracted from Barrett’s total rushing yardage, he would have rushed for 157 yards on 22 carries — which is excellent. Besides the 4th-and-1 conversion, Barrett’s best play came on his 41-yard scamper that set up a potential game tying field goal.

If they were able to convert on this drive, this play would have gone down in Ohio State- Michigan history:



Before the snap, Jabrill Peppers and the free safety had massive confusion. It looks as though Michigan wanted Peppers’ athleticism at free safety when Ohio State went to an empty set — which usually results in a designed quarterback draw. Michigan left the middle of the field wide open, which is an automatic run check for Barrett.

Barrett hesitates, while the receivers do a good job of selling their pass routes. Barrett then tucks the football and follows Pat Elflein -- who only has Peppers to block.

Elflein gets a hand on Peppers and Barrett cuts to the right of the Michigan defender. He throws a stiff arm on Peppers and continues to out run Michigan’s most elite athlete for 30-plus yards.....:lol:

Barrett finally gets shoved out of bounds at Michigan’s 20 — which should have led to a game tying field goal and an eventual regulation victory. The tempo and Barrett’s awareness set up this fantastic play that took advantage of a tired and confused Michigan defense.

He has to be high (if not #1) on "scUM's all time most over rated player list".......:biggrin:

THE CURTIS SAMUEL POSITION. It would seem that the Carolina Panthers are discovering that Curtis Samuel can do pretty much everything, and have decided that's a good thing for their football team.

One player Matt Rhule is interested in seeing all he can do is wide receiver Curtis Samuel. He'd like to see Samuel play more of the role he did at Ohio State where he was used as a wideout, in the slot and as a running back. In many ways Samuel is like running back Christian McCaffrey in that he can do it all. McCaffrey just does it all better than anybody else.

I'll never forget the time I wrote about Samuel's absurd versatility and jokingly lamented that he couldn't kick, only to have to update the article later when his high school coach informed us that Curt can, indeed, kick.



Every football player should just be Curtis Samuel. Then we wouldn't even need positions.
