game. well, dabo sweeney probably not thrilled one of his players has done that. the safety was asked a question about buckeyes quarterback j.t. barrett and said well, he's not impressed with what he's seen from barrett on tape. >> we have played better quarterbacks than him. i'm not taking anything away from him. i don't think that he's a bad player. he's definitely a good player. but you know, he just doesn't stand out as one of the best quarterbacks we have played this year as a defense. >> barrett will get his chance to impress johnson in person on saturday. they play in the night game on new year's eve. after a rough couple of weeks, minnesota ending their season on a positive note last night. the team had threatened to boycott the holiday bowl because ten of their teammates were suspended after a sexual assault investigation. their boycott lasted 36 hours but they were on the field last night. in the third quarter, minnesota getting a little luck here.
