For J.T. Barrett, Ohio States on-again, off-again quarterback since 2014 who is finally entrenched as the Buckeyes offensive leader, the visit Saturday to No. 14 Oklahoma represents nothing new.Though Barrett missed the College Football Playoff and the Big Ten title game as a redshirt freshman, he won at Michigan State and Minnesota, both nationally ranked. Last year, Barrett started and won at Michigan and steered the Buckeyes to a Fiesta Bowl defeat of Notre Dame.Hes not likely to feel the heat of the moment at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium Saturday as third-ranked Ohio State visits in a game with big playoff implications for the Big Ten and Big 12.So just how are the Sooners supposed to get to Barrett?It might help to back off on the blitz. Barrett is a dual-threat QB by nature and dangerous outside the pocket, but he has looked this year and in 2015 to run less often than in his breakout rookie season.And he eats the blitz alive.According to research by ESPN Stats & Information, Barrett has completed 67.2 percent of his passes over the past two seasons against five or more rushers, throwing touchdowns and one interception -- better in all areas than his production against a standard rush.He also throws the deep ball better than ever this year, for what its worth. Four of his six touchdowns have covered more than 15 yards, and his completion percentage is up 8.5 points to 50 on throws of 15 yards or more.He knows (the system) really well, Oklahoma defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. What they want to do and how they want to attack you. Theyve got a lot of offense and that experience helps.Oklahoma, meanwhile, has blitzed under defensive coordinator Mike Stoops on 13 percent of dropback passes in the past two years against mobile quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes II of Texas Tech, Deshaun Watson of Clemson and Houstons Greg Ward Jr.Mahomes, Watson and Ward were sacked twice on those plays while completing 7 of 13 passes for 119 yards and one touchdown.Let the chess match begin.Watson and Ward chewed up the Sooners. In two of Oklahomas past three games, it has faced elite mobile quarterbacks -- and lost. Barrett can make it three of four on Saturday, extending a recent troubling trend for the Sooners.Clemson outscored OU 21-0 in the second half last year in the CFP semifinal at the Orange Bowl en route to a 37-17 win. Watson gouged Oklahoma for 145 rushing yards. To open this season, Ward was equally effective, throwing for 321 yards as Houston scored 20 of the final 26 points to win 33-23.Together, Watson and Ward helped their teams convert 18 of 37 third-down opportunities (48.6 percent) against Oklahoma -- nearly 10 percentage points higher than the Sooners third-down defensive rate in the first 12 games last season.Ohio State, meanwhile, converts 59.3 percent of its third downs this year, eighth nationally, signaling a possible offensive resurgence after its percentage dipped last year from 52 perecent, third nationally in 2014, to 40.7 percent.Do the math, and youll see that the closer Oklahoma keeps Barrett and the Buckeyes to 40 percent on third downs, the better the Sooners chances to fare well against the mobile QB.Even before Oklahomas notable recent woes against Watson and Ward, it showed a tendency to struggle more against mobile quarterbacks than pocket passers.In its 10 losses prior to last New Years Eve, four came against quarterbacks who rushed for more than 475 yards in the seasons they beat Oklahoma -- Jerrod Heard of Texas in 2015, Jake Waters of Kansas State and TCUs Trevone Boykin in 2014 and Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M in 2012.Notre Dames Everett Golson in 2012, another threat to escape the pocket, also beat Oklahoma.So for Barrett, it likely means hes best suited to use his athleticism on Saturday. The Ohio State quarterback rushed for 938 yards and 11 touchdowns as a freshman but has preferred since to stay in the pocket slightly more often.He rushed for 682 yards in 2015 and has gained 85 on the ground this year while throwing from outside the pocket on 13 percent of his passes, a career low. Nevertheless, Barretts outside-the-pocket completion rate of 57 percent this season is a career high.Either hes more comfortable on the move, or hes benefited from facing the subpar defenses of Bowling Green and Tulsa.Well likely learn the answer on Saturday in Norman.
