Barnett has to play. Kid runs hard AFTER contact. We do not have that if he is not on the field.

If he burns a redshirt so be it.

It's like he's playing ever play like it's his last one. Absolutely love the passion

i get the criticisms but to gently push back.....Houser threw to 7 different receivers today, 3 TEs had receptions and trimble/Clement both had 5 catches.

the pick was terrible and big ten defenses are going to sell out on Dixon but i actually thought he did a better job of distributing today

I dont think there are any redshirts anymore. Only 5 years to play 5. Besides the obvious, the leg drive and yards after contact is super impressive as a freshman. Can only imagine he's going to get a lot better. You can tell he's extremely hard to tackle so thats exciting.

The thing about it is, you have Alexis coming in next season with that same type of size at 6'0, 220+ but even more explosive with a 4.4 40. You can already imagine them running all over the B1G but I'm still interested to see them do that this year.


By the way I'm really hoping Dixon continues this pace. Another 2-3 TDs vs OSU would put the rest of the nation who is still sleep on notice. He'll be in his home state as well so should be interesting.

I imagine Ohio State will make it a priority to lock Dixon down. Hopefully we can keep that from happening.
