Joe Burrow- Athens, OSU, LSU, WHO DEY!

[LHS 72]

He is a college man now not a high school kid spring game is a glorified practice, A big 10 game is the real deal, in time 2-3 years he will be good!

[Abe Froman]

SE Ohio football is very good

There may be some that disagree with that, but fact remains there are some very, very good players from SE Ohio that never get seen, or maybe even more accurately don't understand how to get the exposure to get seen. Perhaps the likes of Burrow, Pendleton at MSU, Prater at Northwestern, Williams at Stanford will help players from our area.

We should have a couple other linemen from our neck of the woods get an opportunity. The more players that get watched, the more some other players can get seen.

I had a coach (D2 level) tell me once that almost inevitably he goes to watch one kid and comes away thinking there are several more that needs to be on their radar. Exposure = Opportunity.

Good to see Joe Burrow play well, but JT Barrett should be the starter, no question. B10 QB of the Year in 2014, and probably would have been again in 2015 if not for the dreaded QB shuffle. Beating Michigan 42-13 in the Big House and Notre Dame 44-28 in the Fiesta Bowl showed how valuable JT is to the Buckeye offense. Burrow's good play in the spring game is nothing more than that......a spring game. He could very well be the starter eventually but not in 2016......and then there is freshman QB Dwayne Haskins he'll have to compete with. At Ohio State, you have to compete for your position. There were many who thought JT Barrett would have been the starter in 2015, but Coach Meyer decided on Cardale Jones.

oh I don't see jt getting upended. no way burrows starts above barrett. but it's great to know burrow looked strong in relief. I was just saying barrett looked off. barrett should have a banner year. as should the buckeyes if they get some things ironed out.

Athens did set the bar very high. I can't think of a team that was as dominant as Athens in its time period.

Ironton of the 70's, 80's and 90's. Now that was a run!

[Raider6309]

Now that would be a debate. 79 Ironton vs 14 Athens. Polar opposites. Under 30 Ironton wins. Over 30 Athens pulls away

[Raider6309]

Both put the fear of god in their opponents. Ironton would beat you 35-0 and you would be sore. Athens would put up 60 on your field and not break a sweat

Be cool next year to see Trae Williams and Prater both starting for Northwestern. And Trae picking off Joey. Be like when Dick Adams laid out Todd Synder

JT will be the starter the next two years with John getting mop up duty.

[LHS 72]

Jt will be the started for the next two years with John getting mop up duty.

If Barrett has a big year he may leave for the draft.

[Raider6309]

Burrow will start by the end of the year. Burrow is a carbon copy of Alex Smith.

The only way will be if JT get injurer! Remember there is a 4 Star QB coming in June.

[Raider6309]

Joey was a 4 star. 9th ranked QB. Gibson was a 5 star and had to move to WR. Burrow is almost game ready.

Just to be clear Gibson was listed as an Athlete. Be careful of what you wish, this is not high school ball!

Also don't you mean John!

Burrow grew up in the Nebraska and Ohio University locker room. Both sides of his family were big time D1. I think Joey is fine.

I am not criticizing John but I have attended many games at OSU home and away and also been to many bowl games. Have some friends that played on the 1968 and 2002 National Championship Teams and according to them after observing spring practice John is close but still needs a lot of work. I notice a few time he had happy feet which can be corrected with hard work, also like Meyer said he has a very little hitch in his motion (Coach Meyer might have used a different word) that also will be corrected this summer. Fall practice will be big for John! Sounds like John will always compete and that will help him improve!

His name is Joe - you think you are so cute quoting J.T.
