The ultra prego Lindsay Kurpes answered some questions about her King Boo.
WVa - What one play stands out to you during his time in Columbus?
Lindsay - The major game that stands out to me in J.T. Barrett's prolific career at OSU is the comeback victory against Penn State last year in late October. There are many who constantly doubted him, but it took the grit, guts, and smarts of a senior to lead that team to victory. He didn't worry when we fell behind, he used his feet and his arm to get his team in position to win ... that is what great leaders do!
WVa - What do you believe was Barrett's impact on the Ohio State program?
Lindsay - The leadership that J.T. brought to the Buckeyes is something that I hope is passed down season to season. I hope the impact he made on his teammates allows them to carry on his legacy. The motivational speeches that he gave to his soldiers were so powerful, and this team fed off his energy and intensity. He was a humble, stoic leader who oozed with quiet confidence. He will forever be cemented in Buckeye history as one of the best QBs of all time, whether you hated him or loved him.
WVa - If you could sit down with him, what would you tell him about the haters?
Lindsay - To the haters, and boy were there so many haters, until you show me your career as a QB for a top football program, please take a seat. J.T. should not worry about the opinion of sheep, his storied career has spoken for itself. J.T. is on the path to try his efforts in the NFL, behind QB great Drew Brees, who I'm certain will provide a wealth of knowledge. Once the NFL journey has concluded, I see J.T. as a phenomenal football coach one day. He is meant to lead.
WVa - About those who love him?
Lindsay - I will certainly miss seeing number 16 take the field in 16 days, but I'm certain he's passed down his leadership baton and we'll see another leader emerge. J.T., you are forever in our hearts...GO BUCKS!!!!!
