Barrett was suspended one game due to an OVI arrest and Connor Cook is going through some physical shoulder issues. Barrett missed a home win against Minnesota before returning for a road win against Illinois. Cook has already declared he’s playing in the game against the Buckeyes, but had his worst game of the season last week in a win against Maryland. The senior quarterback from Hinckley, Ohio completed 6-of-20 passes for 77 yards and one interception.
