Dwayne Haskins Shines In Record-Breaking Debut
Ohio State has been playing football since 1890. The program has won eight national titles and been the home to seven Heisman Trophy winners.
But no quarterback in the history of the Buckeye program has had a starting debut quite as impressive as Dwayne Haskins.
Haskins threw for 313 yards and five touchdowns in the Buckeyes’ 77-31 win over Oregon State. Both of those were school records for a first-time starter.
The afternoon represented a dream come true for Haskins, who famously announced that he wanted to attend Ohio State during a visit to campus in 2008.
Saturday, he got his first chance to start at quarterback for the Buckeyes, and made the most of it.
“That was the dream when I was a little kid and just being able to go out there on the field and do it today is remarkable,” Haskins said after the game.
“I was thinking about that yesterday, how far I came just to be here and just to have the opportunity,” he said.
The journey to the starting job make have taken a while, but it didn’t take him long to make an impact on Saturday.
Haskins threw a two-yard touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin on the Buckeyes’ first drive, and connected with Rashod Barry for a 6-yard score later in the first quarter.
He added a 3-yard scoring pass to Mike Weber before halftime, and then tacked on a 75-yard score to McLaurin and an 8-yard touchdown pass to Parris Campbell in the third quarter.
He finished the game just one touchdown pass shy of the school’s all-time single-game record.
The only blemish came on an interception near the goal line in the third quarter.
Acting Ohio State head coach Ryan Day gave Haskins a solid grade for his first outing as the top quarterback on the roster.
“I thought Dwayne started well, played well, had the one play there that obviously you’d like to have back. But overall a good start,” Day said.
Senior wide receiver Parris Campbell caught four passes against the Beavers, including that one score. He was impressed with the sophomore quarterback.
“He made it look easy, man. That’s what he does,” said Campbell.
Campbell said he got a sense that Haskins may have been a little antsy at the start of the game, but those nerves quickly vanished.
“The first drive of the game, honestly, he was riled up, juiced up. You could sense a little bit of nervousness on the sideline. But after he threw that first pass to Terry (McLaurin) for a touchdown, he was ready to go,” Campbell said.
