October 14, 2016Browns clash with Titans : WFNY Roundtable
October 14, 2016Ahead of the Ohio State Buckeyes key primetime matchup against the Wisconsin Badgers at Camp Randall Saturday night, quarterback J.T. Barrett received some good news in terms of quarterbacks around the country. He was named one of 15 finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, which is presented to the nation’s top college quarterback at the end of the year, the school announced Thursday.
Here’s part of the release from Ohio State:
Barrett, Ohio State’s all-time leader with 60 touchdown passes in just 22 career starts, has been outstanding through five games, accounting for 19 TDs (15 passing, 4 rushing) while completing 79-of-123 passes for 981 yards. He tossed a career-high six TD passes to four different receivers in the season-opening win over Bowling Green while throwing for a career-high 349 yards. He also rushed for a score to set an Ohio State record with seven TDs accounted for in that contest.
In the road win at No. 14 Oklahoma, he tossed four TD passes – all to Noah Brown – and added 74 yards on the ground. Against Rutgers, he tossed another four TD passes and now ranks ninth in the FBS with his 15. Last week he rushed for a season-high 137 yards and a score and added 93 yards and a TD through the air in the win over the Hoosiers.
While already breaking the school record for passing touchdowns in a career, the redshirt junior is just three touchdowns away from surpassing quarterback-turner-receiver Braxton Miller (88 total touchdowns) for the most touchdowns accounted for in Ohio State history.
Barrett, who leads the No. 2 ranked Buckeyes’ offense, is one of the main reasons why the scarlet and gray are one of the top teams in the country this fall. So far this season, No. 16 has completed 79-of-123 pass attempts for 15 touchdowns and three interceptions while running for 342 yards and four touchdowns on 70 carries as well. In his career as a Buckeye, Barrett is 20-2 as a starter.
The Golden Arm Award has been awarded to the nation’s top senior (or fourth-year junior) quarterback every season since 1987. The voting takes both on and off the field performance and character into consideration, to go along with their statistics on paper.
The 15 finalists:
- J.T. Barrett, Ohio State
- Joshua Dobbs, Tennessee
- Luke Falk, Washington State
- Chad Kelly, Ole Miss
- Trevor Knight, Texas A&M
- Patrick Mahomes, Texas Tech
- Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma
- Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma State
- Cooper Rush, Central Michigan
- Seth Russell, Baylor
- Zach Terrell, Western Michigan
- Mitch Trubisky, North Carolina
- Greg Ward, Jr., Houston
- Deshaun Watson, Clemson
- Davis Webb, California
