    Biggest question regarding this game seemed to revolve around J.T. Barrett and his ability to keep up his astounding passing achievements vs top rated teams.

    When the Buckeyes fell behind 14 points in the opening four minutes, that was the first thing than went through my mind.

    I still am not certain what permitted J.T. to come alive in the fourth quarter with that amazing comeback. Receivers that could not get open early on were wide open?

    This had to rank as one of the greatest comebacks in Ohio State history!

    Amazing comeback. Did not think much of PSU's game plan. Way too much emphasis on the QB. Played right into the Buckeyes strength.

    This game was a classic. My only regret is that the Buckeyes didn't beat Rape State by 80.

    I didn't see it, but reading about it was exciting! I'm happy for JT Barrett, he's a Texas kid and has been a leader and fought through some injuries and is a great teammate and student.

    Congrats to Stu, Don and Terry on the big win for the Buckeyes. Had to be very exciting.

    A word of note Terry, buy J.T. has surpassed the prior NCAA leader in TD passes by the name of Drew Brees, who played for Purdue.
