Reliving J.T. Barrett's eight Big Ten Player of the Week awards

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- J.T. Barrett is 32-5 in his career as an Ohio State starting quarterback. He's been named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week in eight of those 37 starts, or 21.6 percent of the time.

The latest award came Monday for his performance in Saturday's win at Nebraska.

So let's relive all eight of Barrett's Big Ten Player of the Week awards (he also won Freshman of the Week seven times in 2014), starting with his first award against Kent State in 2014.

At the end, we'll give you his total stats in these eight award-worthy weeks.

J.T. Barrett vs. Kent State, 2014 (Marvin Fong, The Plain Dealer)

No. 1: Kent State, 2014

Barrett won his first Big Ten Player of the Week award in his third start. (He had been named freshman of the week for his first start against Navy.)

Bouncing back from a week two loss to Virginia Tech, Barrett cut through the Kent State secondary in a 66-0 win, proof that nothing heals you like a bad MAC team.

Stats: 23 of 30 passing, 312 yards, 6 TDs, 1 INT; 8 carries, 6 yards

J.T. Barrett vs. Rutgers, 2014 (Marvin Fong, The Plain Dealer)

No. 2: Rutgers, 2014

This one's a little light, frankly, a good but not great game in a 56-17 win over a Rutgers team that managed to go 8-5 on the season. This was the first 100-yard rushing game of Barrett's career, though, in start number six, so maybe the dual-threat action impressed people.

Stats: 19 of 31 passing, 261 yards, 3 TDs; 7 carries, 107 yards, 2 TDs

J.T. Barrett vs. Michigan State, 2014 (Chuck Crow, The Plain Dealer)

No. 3: Michigan State, 2014

This still may stand as the best game Barrett has played, so he better have won an award for it. With the Buckeyes looking to avenge the Big Ten Championship loss to Michigan State, they went to East Lansing and took the Spartans apart, with Michigan State ranked No. 8 and Ohio State ranked No. 14.

Barrett did everything he wanted to while beating down a respected Michigan State defense in a 49-37 win.

Stats: 16 of 26 passing, 300 yards, 3 TDs; 14 carries, 86 yards, 2 TDs

J.T. Barrett vs. Rutgers, 2015 (Marvin Fong, The Plain Dealer)

No. 4: Rutgers, 2015

Barrett made his first start of the season against Rutgers, as Urban Meyer moved away from Cardale Jones as the starter, and promoted Barrett from just being the red-zone, No. 2 quarterback.

Meyer said Barrett energized the offense, but maybe that was just the Rutgers defense doing that. Ohio State, ranked No. 1, moved to 8-0 with a 49-7 win, and Barrett would go on to get picked up for drunken-driving in a few days.

Barrett shared with award with Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook.

Stats: 14 of 18 passing, 223 yards, 3 TDs; 13 carries, 101 yards, 2 TDs

J.T. Barrett vs. Bowling Green, 2016 (Jay LaPrete, AP)

No. 5: Bowling Green, 2016

Should this one even count? Ohio State beat Bowling Green 77-0 in its opener and Barrett went crazy.

Stats: 21 of 31 passing, 349 yards, 6 TDs, 1 INT; 6 carries, 30 yards, 1 TD

J.T. Barrett vs. Wisconsin, 2016 (Marvin Fong, The Plain Dealer)

No. 6: Wisconsin, 2016

Now here's one he really earned. Barrett led the Buckeyes to a 30-23 overtime, comeback win at Wisconsin in a top-10 matchup. He set the record for career Ohio State touchdowns in this process. But this one was skill and grit and kept the No. 2 Buckeyes undefeated.

Stats: 17 of 29 passing, 226 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT; 21 carries, 92 yards, 2 TDs

Don't Edit

J.T. Barrett vs. Indiana, 2017 (Marvin Fong, The Plain Dealer)

No. 7: Indiana, 2017

This one is questionable. Ohio State beat Indiana 49-21, but are we sure Barrett was even the best quarterback on the field? Hoosiers QB Richard Lagow completed 40 of 65 passes for three touchdowns and two interceptions and hit precision throws that the Buckeyes didn't. This was an iffy night of passing, not an impressive one. Must have been a slow week for Big Ten offense.

Stats: 20 of 35 passing, 304 yards, 3 TDs; 13 carries, 61 yards, 1 TD

J.T. Barrett vs. Nebraska, 2017 (AP)

No. 8: Nebraska, 2017

Barrett's eighth award was pretty obvious after a seven-touchdown day in what may have been the best game of his career, rivaling the 2014 Michigan State game. The Buckeyes won 56-14 and Barrett put any questions from earlier this season behind him.

Stats: 27 of 33 passing, 325 yards, 5 TDs; 10 carries, 48 yards, 2 TDs
