“I’ve been asked that question, ‘Did you hear what this guy said?’ I’m like, ‘How did they say that?’ I don’t know”. “I met with him (on Sunday)”. Expect to see at least some of J.T. Barrett.

A Monday night road game at Virginia Tech was followed by a Saturday game in Columbus. “Now I just play to my ability and I know that my coaches and my teammates are confident in me”.
Jones will be starting his sixth consecutive game on Saturday against Northern Illinois (2-0) in Ohio Stadium (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2/ABC).
As it does every year, Michigan played its annual grudge match against Ohio State last season.
This week, Jones and the Buckeyes (2-0) face the defending Mid-American Conference champions, who have a decent quarterback of their own. Hare has thrown for 718 yards and six touchdowns without an interception and has rushed 16 times for 64 yards. Just he didn’t feel he helped the team win, Meyer said this week. Because you’re going to ask them to kind of play all over. No, but when we play well, I put it all on them too.

Of course that can change, especially if Jones continues to not play “lights out” in games and/or struggles against Northern Illinois University.
While the Buckeyes are coming off a 38-0 victory, Jones only had 111 passing yards in said victory.
On the rushing side of things, NIU’s top 2 rushers are averaging about 5.5 yards per carry, and have 5 TDs between them through two games. The outcome was not stellar, as Elliott muffed one punt late in the first half for a turnover and made only two returns for 13 yards. “We work at it”, OSU coach Urban Meyer said. Two big pass completions later over Conley and the coaches were asking Apple if he thought he could play.
Ohio State was trailing by three points at halftime in their opener against Virginia Tech. The Buckeyes were also ranked No. 1 in 2006 when they opened the season with a 35-12 win over the Huskies in their only other meeting.

“We definitely were flat”, Decker said. “I have all the confidence in the world we will be better in the future”.
