Ohio State Buckeyes 17, Michigan State Spartans 16
Here are the top takeaways for Ohio State’s 17-16 win over Michigan State.
Ohio State
Quarterback grade: J.T. Barrett, 69.6
Barrett struggles throwing the ball, moves the ball on the ground
It was another classic game in this the “Year of the Running Quarterback” as Barrett posted a 55.9 passing grade but made up for it with a 92.6 effort on the ground. He was clearly affected by the wind, with passes floating all over the place and one throw that was dangerously close to a disastrous turnover, but the Buckeyes relied on him heavily to make good decisions in their run/pass option game and he came through with 122 yards on 20 carries.
