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.
