One of the most talked about happenings in college football has been the Ohio State quarterback position. According to Sportsline.com, the father of J.T. Barrett believes that Braxton Miller should be the No.1 quarterback to start the season. However, this is the final Monday in June. There may be different feelings once training camp starts in August.
Despite numerous rumors circulating about imminent departures in the spring, all three Ohio State quarterbacks returned for another season. However, the three-way quarterback carousel is all dependent on Miller’s ability to throw the ball. He’s coming off of surgery on his throwing shoulder, and has only been cleared to throw for three weeks.
Part of Joe Barrett’s reason for saying Miller should be the starter is admirable. The elder Barrett stated to the Columbus Dispatch on Sunday that players shouldn’t lose their job due to injury. However, he’s not letting his son settle for second or third string either.
“Of course I would love to see my kid start, but for me it always goes back to who was first,” he said. “If Braxton hadn’t gotten hurt, I would still be waiting for my baby to get the chance to play. I was thankful J.T. got that chance … and we were all blessed that he was ready to compete, but like I have told everybody, I don’t want to see my kid take a position because of the misfortune of someone else,” he said.
