COLUMBUS, Ohio -- When Ohio States passing game was sputtering last month, J.T. Barrett kept saying everything was OK. Even after the loss to unranked Penn State, the quarterback insisted no big changes were necessary and the offense was on track.The quiet Texans confidence and patience paid dividends.The Buckeyes went out and routed then-No. 10 Nebraska 62-3 to open November and swamped Maryland by the same score a week later, with Barrett throwing for 680 yards and six touchdowns in the two games.The wind blew down Ohio States passing attack last week against Michigan State, but the Buckeyes escaped with a 17-16 win. Mike Weber rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown, and Barrett ran for 105 yards and threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Curtis Samuel.No. 2 Ohio State is preparing to face the best defense its seen all season in No. 3 Michigan on Saturday, with terrific linebacker/defensive back Jabrill Peppers, a game-changer who has to be accounted for on every play, and perhaps the nations best secondary. Michigan leads the nation in limiting opponents to 245.6 yards per game.We have a respect for them, wide receiver Terry McLaurin said. Just watching a couple of clips within the last couple of days, the press man, theyre going to load a lot of the box and as a group we have to beat man coverage. Thats why you come to Ohio State. Thats why they recruit you, to come beat man coverage.While Barrett spread the ball around earlier in the season, Ohio States offensive resurgence has been built around the dual-threat quarterback; Weber, who is the third Ohio State freshman ever to run for over 1,000 yards; and Samuel, a hybrid back who runs the ball and catches passes with equal skill. Wide receivers have become mostly supporting players.Weve got a lot of different things in our offense that allow us to utilize all three of those playmakers, and theres other guys, too, center Pat Elflein said. Our receivers are playing well, theyre blocking well, which allows for the whole offense to open up. As long as we keep doing that, well hit our shots and well keep playing Buckeye ball like we have been.Barrett said it begins and ends with the play of the offensive line. During the October swoon, the line struggled in pass protection and Barrett was constantly on the run. Adjustments were made.I think our O-line is doing what they need to do, and if our O-line plays well then we have a good day on offense, Barrett said. The main thing is that the offense has really opened things up for the guys running and also for me running the ball.Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said Barrett is hard to predict because hes able to do so many things well. The junior is responsible for 99 touchdowns in his Ohio State career, seven shy of Drew Brees Big Ten record.Slippery, Harbaugh said. Tough runner, like a running back, but hes got the vision of a quarterback, hes got the throwing ability of a quarterback. Theres times where he can put the ball into the tightest of windows. He plays with a lot of confidence. Hes an outstanding player. Its a unique combination for a quarterback to have all those things.Samuel has emerged as the go-to guy for Barrett. He leads the team in receiving with 790 yards and seven touchdowns, and has rushed for another 650 yards and seven scores. In what promises to be one of the more intriguing matchups of the day, Samuel could line up in the slot and be staring across at Peppers.Thats a matchup that makes the game even more intriguing, if thats possible.

The pair touched wheels, forcing Raikkonen off the track and across the run-off area before he rejoined the track after the next corner.Im completely fine with good, hard racing but if I had to back off and even brake on the run down to Turn 5 [Les Combes], still on the straight, when I had made my move... when I have to brake not to hit somebody, as he moved afterwards, something is not correct. That, in my view, is completely not correct, but obviously for whatever reasons the stewards think its OK. But if I had not braked we would have had a massive accident.The problem was that I was using the DRS, I was 15/20 kph faster than him and once I made my move, he waited and waited and then turned much later than me. And the speed difference is quite high, so I had to brake, slow down to avoid him. Its not exacctly what should happen: when the other guy has to break from full speed - its not correct.dddddddddddd...Its not the first time Verstappen has come under fire from his fellow drivers. At the Hungarian Grand Prix, Raikkonen accused Verstappen of moving in the braking zone and Nico Rosberg had a similar complaint at the German Grand Prix, although it was Rosberg who was penalised in that instance. Raikkonen fears only an accident will persuade Verstappen to change his style.Im sure it will happen sooner or later if this doesnt change, but it seems to be OK [with the stewards]. It will be interesting to see when something will happen whos to blame... Like I said, Im fine with good racing and hard battles but in that situation it was not correct, in my view.Obviously there are always different opinions from everybody. It doesnt change an awful lot, maybe he needs an accident before things become clearer to everybody, but hopefully not, because it can be a bit bad for somebody. And obviously nobody wants to see anybody get hurt. Like I said, Im fine with racing and fighting hard, but something like that should not be correct, in my view. But there are always different opinions from different people, so lets see. ' ' '
