It is what it is at this point. "Dance with the one who brung ya."
JT is a good football player. JT is going to rewrite the record books at OSU before he leaves. JT is also the weakest link on this team.
If you list unit performance so far in relation to their probability of beating bama (the only measurement that matters any more since the B1G is garbage and every team has a fatal flaw). You get something like this:
1. Defensive Backs
2. Kickers/Punters
3. Running Backs/H
4. Defensive Line
5. Linebackers
6. Offensive Line
7. Wide Receivers/TE
8. Quarterbacks
Every unit on the team playing to its averages probably steamrolls to a national championship. Thus, winning a championship relies solely on JT being "good" if he's the weakest link. Which is a scary proposition since he probably has the greatest "spread" in performance. but he is who he's going to be at this point.
As Ross has shown, when the running game is up and going (including his own), he seems to be able to find a rhythm a little easier. Which is curious seeing as how they didn't give the ball to samuel to jumpstart the offense until it was already a dead fish lying there for 2 quarters.
When freak athletes make freak athlete plays his numbers are good. When he misses WIDE OPEN touchdowns by 10 yards, chucks the ball against the facemask of a running back who had never run that play in a game, and clutches and REFUSES to dump the ball to wide open check downs... you get what you had yesterday. Almost Rick Ankiel-like.
Hopefully, Meyer and Warriner can schematically and psychologically set him for success. If so, we put up the banner that SHOULD have gone up last year.
