After Ohio State accumulated a school record of 776 offensive yards against Bowling Green, the Big Ten probably didn't face much of a decision in regards to who would take home the first Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors of the 2016 season.
Monday morning, it crowned Buckeye quarterback J.T. Barrett.
The redshirt junior tossed 349 yards through the air, including six touchdown passes to four different receivers. He added 30 yards and another touchdown through the ground.
This is Barrett's fifth Offensive Player of the Week award, and his 12th Big Ten weekly award.
Other awards doled out:

DEFENSIVE PLAYER | MIKE MCCRAY | LB | MICHIGAN | 3.5 TFL & 1 FF vs. Hawai'i |
SPECIAL TEAMER | RAFAEL GAGILANONE | K | WISCONSIN | 3 FGs vs. LSU |
