That's brutal for them. Their offense is geared around handing the ball off to Connor and then throwing to Tyler Boyd once the defense stacks the box against the run. Now, Boyd is going to be double and triple-teamed constantly.
That was awesome, haha Fullback's got moves! <iframe src="https://vine.co/v/et5IUYjwWx0/embed/simple" width="600" height="600" frameborder="0"></iframe><script src="https://platform.vine.co/static/scripts/embed.js"></script>

My guess is Barrett starts the 2nd half and the Ohio State QB battle is finished. Over an entire season, it ain't even close call IMO. Barrett is just better.
Screwed long term too, having your starting QB likely break his collarbone in the first game of the year is brutal.
