Not hating the kid.  He's played his hardest for 2 years and has had great results.    Urban Meyer's offenses have radio ally had the QB run the ball 17 to 20 times a game.  JT is an above average runner, but in 2016 the Buckeyes won't have Zeke or a veteran OL.  If OSU gets shut down on the QB run we may see more stagnant play flow and bad 'down and distance' situations (3rd and longs).  

Barrett seems to prefer to pass to receivers who are less than 10 yards downfield and misses quite a few open receivers that are open downfield.  

I feel Barrett regressed a bit in 2015.  Maybe it was injury, or reps, or missing Herman's position coaching.  

Am I the only one anxious about next year's offense, given the tough schedule?
