QB Dwayne Haskins Jr. (All B1G, B1G OPOY, Silver Football, Rose Bowl MVP, R.I.P.)

Sorry if wrong thread, but how the hell does Nick Bosa's odds drop after a 2 sack, 2 fumble recovery, 1 TD day? Ridiculous.

He plays well in space, so must be not enough moxy.

Seriously, it's probably just a function of other offensive players around the country playing well. I don't know how they calculate these odds, but since there is only one Heisman given out, I would imagine it's a zero-sum game, so if Haskins' and Tagovailoa's odd's went up, someone else's had to go down.

Unless he also returns kicks, catches passes, throws the ball as well, no DL will be looked at seriously as a Heisman contender. Who cares, regardless of who wins the Heisman, I can guarantee you that Nick will getting a larger paycheck in the NFL. And that’s a win in the end

I agree. We need to give him the ball from the FB position on 4th and 1 or on goal line stands.

CAN DWAYNE HASKINS PLAY HIS WAY INTO THE 2019 NFL DRAFT?

96121_h.jpg


Dwayne Haskins' NFL audition may only last five months.

That scenario is far from guaranteed, of course, but after carving up Oregon State for 313 passing yards and five touchdowns, the possibility seems more likely than it did this time last week.

Haskins has just about everything NFL scouts look for in a potential franchise quarterback. Big arm? Check. Mental makeup? Check. Awareness on and off the field? Check and check.

Experience?

That's where the redshirt sophomore comes up short, but during his brief moments in the spotlight, he's showcased a skill set that could gradually minimize any concern about his lack of experience.

Haskins was surgical against the Beavers, connecting on his first nine throws before a well-placed deep ball to Parris Campbell hit the turf. He completed 73.3 percent of his passes in total, a mark usually hit by quarterbacks who dink-and-dunk their way down the field. That wasn't the case on Saturday, as the Maryland product stretched the field vertically early and often.

It was the array of throws that was most impressive. The cannon was on full display, but when finesse and touch were needed — like the six-yard dump off to Rashod Berry that put Ohio State up 21-7 — Haskins threw catchable ball after catchable ball.

SKULL SESSION: OHIO STATE'S DOMINATING DEFENSIVE LINE, DWAYNE HASKINS' TIGHT END DAYS, AND TUF BORLAND'S NAME CHANGE

POP WARNER DWAYNE TRAIN
. Dwayne Haskins announced his arrival to the college football world like the Kool-Aid man busting through a wall on Saturday, slinging five touchdowns and 313 passing yards and vaulting himself into the Heisman Trophy conversation.

He looks like a natural-born gun slinger, but according to childhood friend Mohamed Jabbie, a current Rutgers receiver who will face off against Haskins on Saturday, Haskins wasn't always on the giving end of the passes, but the receiving.

That is, until they found out about the cannon he was concealing.

From NJ.com:

"He wasn't always a quarterback," Jabbie said. "He used to be a little tight end when we were younger, and then he moved to quarterback. We saw how well he could throw, so we changed our whole offense around him. We were like 8-, 9-, 10-years-old, running a spread offense, because he could sling it."

Haskins was a pretty effective tight end, too.

"He was in our little guys camp, and so were my twins," former Rutgers coach Greg Schiano, now the Buckeyes' defensive coordinator and associate head coach, said earlier this week in Columbus. "I remember them coming down to my office, he was playing wide-out in the pick-up, 7-on-7 games, and they said there is one kid up there we can't cover. Nobody can cover him."

Yeah, someone is going to have to find me some video of a young Haskins Gronking kids in 7-on-7. That's going to be a must watch.

OK, as promised a few days ago, I've created a new vBet for how many TD passes that Haskins will have before the bowl game.

This includes the 5 that he threw last week, and will include any he may get in a B1G Championship game.

It does NOT include any TD's he scores via run, reception, or return - unless he catches a pass from himself and runs it in!

For reference, some TD pass totals from the past, some of which include bowl games.

35 - 2017, JT Barrett

30 - 2006, Troy Smith

If any year is the year for an unconventional player to win the Heisman, it would be this year. They need to inject some excitement into the ceremony. Nobody cares anymore. Not sure they'll care anymore regardless of what happens, but I think they'll try something new some time soon.

I highly doubt a change that drastic would happen with the Heisman. It's a drastic change for a WR to be selected in the top 5 for the Heisman, and it took a generational talent in Randy Moss to get close to sniffing the Heisman. Bosa nor any player that's not a QB or even a RB will be selected for the Heisman. Bosa would need absolute video game numbers to get even invited to new york, and even then he'd lose to a QB who threw for 4000+yds and 40+TDs
