SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The physical stopwatch has been put away since training camp. Now J.T. Barrett has to just trust the clock in his head.
Ohio State spent the month of August helping to train the mind of the junior quarterback to understand how much time he’d have in the pocket, when to make a decision with the football and how long he would have before pressure -- and some pain -- would arrive. The Buckeyes took the most productive plays from training camp and measured the time span from snap to pass down to the tenth of a second.
