Quarterback may be anachronistic. I have no idea what offense Cornell ran with Barrett, but at the time, most teams' quarterbacks lined up over guard and were almost exclusively blockers. Barrett sounds more like a tailback to me, which was similar to the modern quarterback. 49giantsharks (talk) 04:59, 11 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Never mind, primary source from the time is cited and lists him as a quarterback. 49giantsharks (talk) 20:28, 11 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
