go bucks so happy this kid was 43-0 only one interception vs all the top and best hs teams in the country is remarkable and he's gonnna be a buckeye the next heisman and champion I just hope urban realized barrett is the reason we can't win the big games he tries to run to much and overthrew open passes every game barrett is real slow inside the pocket it takes him awhile to get his speed goin his burst was very slow by time he starts running he'd have 3 def lineman all on him so hopefully urban does whatever is right shit even try haskins if he has to but I'm so happy this kid is the golden child and picked a great school and great coach to play for he's definitely urbans type of guy go bucks sorry wishagain he's gonna give ya 3 more years of torture

this kid will be better then Barrett as a freshman I just hope urban plays whichever QB is the most athletic and best passer like with Joe burrow who would of been better then Barrett who is a good leader and can be a high paid college coach someday but not a great QB he's to predictable and misses wide open wrs at least 4 times every game burrow showed in the spring game he was better but urban didn't even give him a chance same with cardale Jones and he comes in wins a national championship then Jones has one bad game was taken out and Barrett didn't do any better urban has so much love for Barrett but I know from watching this Martell he will be the next Heisman at OSU as long as ESPN and the broadcasters don't cheat and purposely leave OSU out of everything to promote for bama like they always do but Tate will be so good that they will have no choice I'm excited for this kid incredible player smart athletic and can pass exactly what OSU needs he made a great choice choosing OSU I'm glad he wasn't fooled by ESPN hyping up bama and recruiting for them by always talking good on saban who isn't a good coach just has the top team every year thanks to ESPN same as they do for Kentucky in b-ball it's all calipari what a coincidence there both sec they make kids want to play there they will get fame and more praise at bama and better treatment then everyone else it's bs it's funny OSU beat bama bad and bama got all the respect the next year even over Zeke who ran all over them college football is ruined by ESPN who some reason is trying to help saban build a dynasty..but this kid choosing OSU shows how bright he is and didn't fall into the bama crap but anyway OSU does it and wins alone thru the cheating and hate from ESPN great choice can't wait to see this kid hold up a Natl championship and Heisman trophy go bucks sorry for the rant but it's sad ESPN was my favorite channel till I seen it was all about hate OSU and praise bama who last year would of lost to OSU again but they all knew and didn't want that so they left OSU out the playoff put Oklahoma in over OSU year then this year with a team full of freshmen then allow OSU in the playoff year they knew we would be killed they want a reason to make OSU look like jokes it's really like this I'm not crazy it's true but can't wait to see this electrified player nxt year go bucks
