He suffered a season-ending broken right ankle against MI late in that dynamic 2014 season, and Cardale Jones took over and led the Buckeyes to the national title. According to the backup signal-caller, Ohio State has a “really basic defense”.

Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett looks for an open pass against Tulsa during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016, in Columbus, Ohio.

General view of an Ohio State Buckeyes helmet prior to the 2015 Sugar Bowl against the Alabama Crimson Tide at Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Before that, youd have to go back to the championship game after the 2008 season, when Floridas Tim Tebow and Oklahomas Sam Bradford squared off.
