Nice article about JT's leadership and locker room speeches. "They about that talk. We 'bout that action".
"Listen up, listen up -- 2014 was not a mistake. It wasn't a mistake. That happened because we were real. We are Ohio State, that's what we do. We go to people's places, we lock that s--- up and then we leave. We lock it up and then we leave, every single time. That's what we do. We're going to hit them in the mouth, every single time." -- Oct. 15 speech at Wisconsin
There is no rehearsal during the week, no notecard to read off, and even in the final moments before Barrett takes his stage in front of the offense, no firm idea exactly what message he needs to deliver.
But he reads the room, trying to figure out exactly what the Buckeyes need to hear while also opening up about his own feelings. So when the time comes, the words spill out in a rapid-fire delivery as soon as offensive coordinator Ed Warinner barks, "What you got for us, J.T.?"
