J.T. Barrett set another Ohio State school record on Saturday, becoming the Buckeyes' all-time leading rusher among quarterbacks, surpassing Braxton Miller.

Needing just 17 rushing yards to surpass Miller's mark of 3,054 quarterback rushing yards (not including Miller's rushing yards from his senior year, when he played wide receiver), Barrett broke the record on an 18-yard run in the first quarter of Saturday's game against Illinois, his final home game at Ohio Stadium.

Barrett now ranks third all-time in rushing yards by a Big Ten quarterback, trailing only former Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson (4,495) and former Indiana quarterback Antwaan Randle El (3,895).
