Ohio State Football: JT Barrett must carry offense vs. MSU

Related Topics: J. T. Barrett

Last week was the perfect storm of complete failure for the Buckeye offense (and defense but that’s another story). Iowa exposed each and every flaw Ohio State possesses in the crushing, 55-24 loss. Now, the Buckeyes must rely on the arm that was responsible for a lot of the problems last week to defeat a formidable opponent this Saturday.

When the No. 12 Spartans roll into Columbus they will bring the nation’s third-best rushing defense. In fact, the Michigan State front is allowing just 87 rushing yards per game; they held Saquon Barkley to 63 yards on 14 carries.
