ESPN RECAP

J.T. Barrett ties Ohio State record with 6 TD passes in rout

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Down and disappointed, No. 22 Ohio State needed a lift. A rout of an overmatched opponent couldn't have come at a better time. J.T. Barrett matched a school record with six touchdown passes -- five in the first half -- to lead the 22nd-ranked Buckeyes to a 66-0 victory over Kent State on Saturday. "Where are we and do I like where we're at?" head coach Urban Meyer repeated. "You still have a sick feeling in your stomach about last week. But we're moving forward." Consider the Buckeyes officially over their 35-21 home loss to Virginia Tech a week earlier. "We had a pretty good idea what they were going to do," said Barrett, the redshirt freshman who stepped in when three-year starter Braxton Miller was lost for the year after shoulder surgery.
