They were close with FSU and Bama, and had Miller not gone down, they would have picked Ohio State too.
People forget that both Barrett and Jones did not look good in their spring open practice or whatever it was (Cardele looked awful). There wasn't a lot of confidence for the QB position leading up to the season as well. Elliott WAS NOT a beast in the preseason, that he was in the postseason. They had lost around 3450 of their 4320 rush yards, and 40 rush TDs. They had lost the starting QB, and the backup so 2 returning pass attempts. They were however, pretty set with psss catchers. Then they looked meh against Navy and got beat bad at home, against an average Virginia Tech team that was comprised almost entirely of first year starters. JT threw 3 picks and was sacked 7 times.
A light bulb went off for Barrett, and the rest is history.
