Ohio State football: Cardale Jones battles improved J.T. Barrett in Buckeyes’ heavyweight quarterback duel

Editor’s note: This is the second in a two-part series on the camaraderie and competition between Ohio State quarterbacks J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones.

COLUMBUS: If Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett needed reassurance that he still had his quickness after fracturing his right ankle last November, Joey Bosa provided the ultimate test.

In a recent practice, Barrett was running a zone read, and lined up at defensive end was Bosa, a unanimous All-America during OSU’s national championship season in 2014. Bosa didn’t take the running back, but Barrett decided to pull the ball down and try to get around the edge, anyway.
