Agreed. A good D at home that had 2 weeks to prepare. But you have to be able to throw the ball well and the receivers weren't getting open last week nor this week and Barrett is just off. That isn't hard to see. Not sure what others are seeing, but I have watched every game of Barrett's career and he is off this week and last. It would also help if the receivers did give him some help, but yeah, he is off and I am as big a fan of his as anyone and preached for him from his 2nd game 3 years ago.
OSU needs a good stop/turnover on this first possession and needs to get a deep ball completion. Just one.
