Lets look here.

Kent State, a 66-0 blowout win. He played garbage time in the second half, likely not until the fourth quarter as they were still trying to get Barrett situated as starter and what better than a cupcake like Kent State. Still went 2-4 for 32 yards with a long of a 30 yard pass and ran for 37 yards on four carries.

Cincinnati, a 50-28 blowout win. Didn't pass any, but did have 10 yards on a single run, likely in garbage time in the final minutes of the game when they were running the ball to chew up clock.

Maryland, a 52-24 blowout win. More garbage time play, had one pass (which he completed), likely a screen pass or dump pass behind the line of scrimmage that ended up being a three yard loss. Still ran for 50 yards on 6 carries.

Rutgers, a 56-17 blowout win. Yet again playing in garbage time, didn't pass any (because of chewing up clock), but still ran for 44 yards on 5 carries.

Penn State, a 31-24 double overtime win. Wow, didn't play except for one run because it was a close game and the second string never got in!

Illinois, a 55-14 blowout win. More garbage time for the second string, had a solid late game performance of 5-9 for 82 yards and two touchdown passes, on top of 47 yards rushing on just 7 carries.

Michigan State, a 49-37 win, Minnesota, a 31-24 win and Indiana, a 42-27 late game victory-clinching win, never played because the first string was forced to play the entire game.

Michigan, a 42-28 solid win, got forced in late because of Barrett being injured. Still went 2-3 for 7 yards and ran for 18 yards on two carries.

Wisconsin, a 59-0 blowout laugher, his first true game starting, got to actually show what he could do, going 12-17 for 257 yards and three touchdowns as Ohio State horsefucked Wisconsin.

Alabama, a close 42-35 battle, had some mistakes (1 interception), but still had a solid game going 18-35 for 243 yards and one touchdown, along with 43 yards on 17 rushes (fewer yards per carry average due to a better defense).

Oregon, a 42-20 blowout win that Ohio State dominated from start to finish and would have been 50+ to only 13 or 17 if not for all the fumbles, went 16-23 for 242 yards, had a touchdown and an interception that was the fault of the dumbass receiver. Also had 38 yards on 21 carries (fewer yards per carry average due to a better defense).

Now, was that so hard for your birdshit brain to figure out?
