Barrett will return to his starting role after serving a one-game suspension following his arrest on charges of operating a motor vehicle under the influence, coach Urban Meyer said Monday. Despite improving his record as a starter to 11-0 in the Buckeyes’ 28-14 victory over Minnesota on Saturday, Cardale Jones will again head to the bench for the No. 3 Buckeyes when they visit Illinois on Saturday. Barrett’s legal situation has not yet been resolved as the redshirt sophomore is scheduled for arraignment Tuesday on his misdemeanor charges of OVI and backing without safety. Barrett’s financial aid will also be forfeited for the 2016 summer term, but after serving his one-game ban, he is free to resume the first-team role he reclaimed from Jones last month. “If J.T. has a good week of practice, he’ll get the start,” Meyer said. “… I think it’s the right thing at this time.”
