I have a feeling Iowa might pull this one out. I don't see JTB having back to back good games.
Well, JTB has already had back to back good games. Against Nebraska, OSU's opponent before PSU, Barrett was 27-33 passing with 5 TDs and no interceptions. He also ran for two scores. His totals for the game were 373 yards and 7 TDs.I have a feeling Iowa might pull this one out. I don't see JTB having back to back good games.

Much appreciation for JT.

No. And if he does I hope he doesn't inherit the Troy Smith curse in the NC game!Will you be mad if he doesn't win the Heisman?
Our game at Iowa was a night game with the Hawkeyes coming in undefeated. The crowd was jacked with eyes on a run to the conference championship. Since then they've lost three conference games and the OSU kickoff is in the afternoon. There won't be anywhere near the same energy in Kinnick for OSU as there was for PSU. I think OSU wins going away but last year Iowa had four losses when they beat Michigan. We'll see....
We're screwed either way, because if OSU loses to anyone other than Michigan or Wisconsin, both of whom must run the table, then our loss looks worse.

LET'S GO HAWKEYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Other people have pointed it out, but just to complete. Since Oklahoma JT Barrett is: 132/176 (75%), 1679 yards (280/game), 22 TDs, 0 INTs, with 56 rushes for 327 yards (5.8/rush) and 4 TDs. You're not going to find many 6 game stretches better than that.I have a feeling Iowa might pull this one out. I don't see JTB having back to back good games.

Admit it- you just threw up a little after typing that.
Yes the competition until this week was, to put it nicely, lacking. However he's played 6.5 good games this year out of 8 so saying that he can't play back to back good games is a little ridiculous. Iowa is 69th in passing yards allowed, behind Rutgers, Indiana, Penn State. Army, and Nebraska, so it's not like they've been the no fly zone this year.For more context, that's against Army, Nebraska, Maryland, Rutgers, UNLV and Penn State.
Most likely scenario for us is the Rosie Palm path. But we can hope.depending on where PSU comes in tonight, it may just be in PSU's best interest to just have OSU win out. I do believe in the Jerry Palm path

Look for them to run at will.It will not be close.They are just too good for IowaCorrection: Barrett has had back to back to back to back to back good games, the most recent trending upwards and lights out. Don't discount Penn State and JTB's performance.

This is the definition of a trap game for Ohio State.. Ferentz will try and shorten the game like he did with PSU and have a chance at the end. Iowa has a win over Ohio State, almost beat us, lost by 7 to Sparty, lost in OT to Northwestern.. they are a pretty good football team. this type of game would salvage their season. They'll be ready to play. If OSU isn't at the start.. well you never know
They have a win over Ohio State already? Wow, I did not know that. Interesting playing them twice in one season!
Sorry.. Iowa State.. got my 4 letter states mixed up..

back to back? - he has had 6 straight great gamesI have a feeling Iowa might pull this one out. I don't see JTB having back to back good games.
It's good to see a man in his 10th year in the program finally grasp the offense! lol
Just busting on you.... JTB seems like a heck of a teammate and consummate competitor. I am glad he is having success, just wish it had not been against us.
