WATCH: J.T. Barrett earns game ball after breaking B1G TD record
Published:
Saturday turned into a really special day for Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett.
Not only did the Buckeyes post a 38-7 win over Army to improve to 2-1, but Barrett became the all-time touchdown leader in B1G history, passing former Purdue quarterback Drew Brees.
Barrett surpassed Brees’ 106 total TDs on Saturday against Army with a touchdown pass to Austin Mack midway through the fourth quarter. He finished the day with 270 passing yards, 32 rushing yards and three total TDs. Oh, and he was awarded the game ball:
Our captain & QB1 @JT_theQB4th is the all-time TD leader in the history of the @bigten.
We'd say that deserves the game ball.#GoBucks https://t.co/ZFbwzmz7mR

Barrett has had a tremendous career with the Buckeyes and has emerged as one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in college football.
He’s already thrown for 757 yards and five touchdowns on the season while rushing for 159 yards and a pair of scores.
This was quite an accomplishment for the Ohio State gunslinger and a record that Barrett is hoping stands for a really long time.
