The Buckeyes lost Braxton Miller in August for the rest of the year. A red-shirt Freshman, J.T Barrett was named the starter and with some growing pains in the beginning of the season, Barrett played well enough to be considered a Heisman finalist but would not be named among the finalist who were invited to New York for the award ceremony. Barrett went down in the Michigan game and the Buckeyes were forced to turn to Cardale Jones for the rest of the game, Jones would go on to make his first career start in the Big Ten Championship game against Wisconsin. Buckeyes would win 59-0 and it was just enough for the Buckeyes to the last spot in the College Football Playoffs. Ohio State is 8-0 all-time against Oregon. The Championship game will take place in Arlington, TX on Monday, January 12. Copyright 2015 WOIO…
