The Ohio State Buckeyes and quarterback J.T. Barrett are looking for redemption in 2017 after dropping their College Football Playoff Semifinal game 31-0 to the Clemson Tigers. It was the first time head coach Urban Meyer has ever been shutout in his career.

The Buckeyes finished the season 11-2, although they didn’t finish as Big Ten Champions. With Barrett under center, the team looked to be in good shape all season long, until the very end. Barrett threw for 2,555 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also ran for 845 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground.

Barrett still has yet to return his 2014 form, when he threw for 2,834 passing yards and 34 passing touchdowns. He finished fifth in Heisman voting that season. But his passing accuracy has come into question. He finished the final two games of the season with zero passing touchdowns and three interceptions. With some new additions on offense, look for Barrett to climb back up the rankings.
