Imagine an ideal scenario in Tampa in a few weeks, after Ohio State will have defeated Clemson in Glendale. It had just followed that with a win over the Peach Bowl winner en route to Ohio State's second national championship in three years.
In that scenario, isn't J.T. Barrett now Ohio State's all-time greatest quarterback? Is it even a discussion?
Ohio State fans bemoan the spotty play from the third-year signal-caller, but his lowlights in a given game mask that he's credibly challenging the record books at almost every statistic for a quarterback. Barrett's likely return for a redshirt senior season should afford him the opportunity to put his name on top of almost all the records.
