Two years ago in his seventh college football game, J.T. Barrett delivered his first performance to remember. Barrett had been stellar in the weeks leading up to the Penn State, throwing 17 touchdown passes in a four-game stretch, but he reached another level at Beaver Stadium on Oct. 25, 2014.

Barrett’s two touchdown runs in overtime helped Ohio State escape with a 31-24 victory. “The script was written,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. “I just remember thinking, ‘What am I going to say to this team afterwards?’ It crossed my mind.
