Joe Thomas Barrett ... King Boo

Each week the sassy ladies of BSU are going to highlight a player of the week, hence, the birth of BSU Boo Watch! A fun, interactive feature each week that will drum up excitement, as if we needed anymore. 

Loved so much by us, he IS our logo

For week one there was no better choice than Joe Thomas Barrett, King Boo himself!
Lindsay: J.T. started off the game with the typical naysayers throwing shade, by the end, they saw the leader and spark we all know he is. 
In the first half, it seemed like the receivers were having a difficult time getting open and running the correct routes. You can hate on J.T., but make sure it's because of errant throws, not a receiver not making a play! Offensive Coordinator Kevin Wilson admitted that the first half was on him, he didn't put our offense in the right position to make plays, hence, second-half adjustments. 
The second half had a calm, composed J.T. making a gorgeous, long, downfield pass that was perfectly placed, but unfortunately, Parris Campbell could not secure it. This pass made all the haters who said he can't make downfield plays open their eyes and see the QB that Ryan Day, Wilson, and Urban Meyer see. They know why he is the No. 1 guy. The proficient pass game of the second half opened up the run game for our little star boo in the making, J.K. Dobbins, and for J.T. to make plays with his feet. 
By the end of the game we saw our leader settle in and use all of his weapons, which will all be important next Saturday night when we defeat Oklahoma! GO BUCKS.

Mel: Basically all I have to say to the J.T. haters is suck it! Keep doing what you're doing J.T.! Go Buckeyes!

Diana: There is a reason J.T. is OSU' first three-time captain. As I have mentioned before, he is cool and calm. The Indiana game started of slow and it had me on edge a little. I told myself that there would adjustments for second half and would ya look at that ... there were! It's always fun to listen to the haters when he's not doing well and then listen to them worship him when he is. I can't wait to see him light up Oklahoma again! The joke is on you haters! Go Bucks! 

Jane: Joe Thomas, first three-time captain in the history of Ohio State football. Leader of leaders and breaker of every quarterback record that was set before him. That is our #KingBoo. All of Buckeye Nation expected our boys, led by J.T., to hit the field and score on every drive. After all, all we had heard was Wilson was going to run a fast-paced, high-powered offense and Day had worked with J.T. What we saw was an offense, and offensive coordinator, trying to find their way. Wide receivers not getting open and not much in the way of utilizing our tight ends, and J.T. always takes the hits, verbal that is, from some not-so-patient fans. The work of our running back Dobbins is a story for another day.
Of note, J.T. is leading a pack of young man which was experiencing not only a first college game, but a conference game on the road, at night! They young guys all needed a little time to get their footing, and work out the nerves to start doing what they have trained to do.
The second half was proof of J.T.’s steadfastness, calm, epic ability to lead, and his solid talent as a quarterback. He threw for a little over 300 yards, rushed for 61 and had four touchdowns, with most of this work coming in the second half. I don’t believe there is a college team that would not want J..T as its quarterback and leader. And, I for one, am thrilled that he is representing the best damn college in the land, The Ohio State University!
