Well, Urban Meyer did it.

After a week of talk about the possibility of playing J.T. Barrett at quarterback in the red zone — Urban said on his call-in show the staff had put an "inordinate" amount of thought into — Meyer pulled the trigger after starter Cardale Jones led Ohio State to the brink of the red zone. The Buckeyes trailed 7-0 at the time.

After two plays that went backwards, J.T. Barrett made an exquisite timed throw to Mike Thomas for 20 yards on 3rd and 15. Three players later and the Buckeyes were in the end zone.

It was J.T. Barrett's first rushing touchdown of 2015, and #QBgeddon is officially back on the table.
