Let us saunter back in time to the week prior to Nebraska. Ohio State had won some decisive victories against some teams that were historically not-good. Barrett had posted some good stat lines, but had looked good, not great, in the eyes of one commenter.
There was once a thread that asked whether J.T. Barrett was a Heisman candidate. There was once a comment that was pessimistic about that. That comment, from a foolish, foolish man, suggested that J.T. Barrett did not have any remote chance at a Heisman.
Behold the man. Behold his folly.
