It seems like every week now Ohio State's J.T. Barrett is bringing home awards from the Big Ten Conference.

This week, Barrett won his sixth Freshman of the Week honor tying a record set by former Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase in 2010.

Barrett accounted for 389 total yards and four touchdowns in Saturday's 31-24 win over the Minnesota Golden Gophers. With 189 rushing yards, Barrett set a school record for rushing yards by a quarterback, highlighted by this 86-yard TD run.

If not for Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon breaking the single game FBS rushing record with 408 yards, Barrett probably would have had a good shot at bringing home another B1G Player of the Week.
