Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
JT Barrett: 12/15, 226 yards, 80% comp, 15.1 ave yards, 1 sack, 2 TD, 1 INT, 237.2 QBR, oh and 9 rushes for 50 yards, 5.6 ave.

Just sayin: He won't be carrying the team on his back (like Braxton); he just did what we need him to do, i.e. make good decisions and put the team in a position to win. I'd give him a very high grade for the game, and hopefully he only gets better as the season goes on.
If the O-line had been as good as last year it would have really been a blowout.
Kudos to the D-line, especially Washington and Bennett.

I think you answered your own question here. Actually even I'd go farther and say he SHOULD have caught it; and I'll bet Wilson would agree with that too.

11W elaborates on the bit of trivia I posted earlier:
It looks even better for Barrett if you throw in completion percentages. Part of what I liked about Barrett's performance is that it wasn't all quick hits and check-downs. He had the deep completion as we all know, and several good mid-range downfield throws.

What happened to my ¤cash?
Agree. When it happened I called it as a coverage sack to my son. The replay at field level showed how well the back seven did on that play. Credit that sack to the secondary.

You're making it sound like he had to make a leaping dive to catch it, which would be a different story. It was definitely not in stride, but Dontre was completely wide open and had no one within 5 yards of him.
It was definitely a catchable ball.

I was also very impressed with Curtis Samuel. I don't pay too much attention to recruiting these days, so I was going off a lot of second-hand information that led me to believe he'd be a lot more like Dontre Wilson. In reality, he looks more like Michael Wiley than anything. I was impressed by his physicality. He softened up Navy for the finish of that game.

Good win. Barrett played a really good 2nd half and the rushing attack picked up as well. I was impressed with Curtis Samuel as well. He's a tough runner for his size as a freshman. He will be very good.

Oline like Urban said really struggled in the first half but the second half they took over. Barrett had lots of time that 2nd half and we really started gashing them up front near the end. If not for that 4th down stuff we really played nicely in the 2nd half.
Big shout out to Darron Lee and our DTs. Where was Schutt? I thought our safeties really struggled staying on their feet and crashing down

He's no Hackenberg but then again, who is?

Not saying it was a good throw for that situation because Wilson was so wide open, but on a lot of plays in that part of the field that will be exactly where you want to put the ball. Keeping it low minimizes the risk of interception and keeps the receiver from getting decapitated. Wilson (and any other Buckeye receivers) need to make the catch on throws like that.

That's what I liked. He actually had to make some real throws, and looked pretty good doing so. Aside from the one bad INT, I thought he was pretty close to flawless throwing the ball. Looked really good, and that gives me hope for the season...if the OL can block better than they did the first 3 quarters today. COme to think of it, given the pressure he was under, I think it's quite impressive he really only had the one bad throw. He didn't look like a kid taking his first college snaps, and first live game snaps in 22 months to me. Very impressed.11W elaborates on the bit of trivia I posted earlier:
