This young man is the truth. He's gonna lead us to another NC if our back seven can get their heads out of their asses.

And he didn't let the low snaps affect him that much. I would think that would've hurt many a lesser QB.
So impressed with his poise in the face of the pressure TCU was getting.

I still think he'll need next year, and I mean it. Don't rush this thing andwith hard work, we're talking a possible NFL legend.

Putting in PDX
I didn’t get to watch the 2nd half live, but watching this morning one thing I observed was that he had a few more back foot throws than we’ve seen to this point. Make no mistake he was great, but it was clear he had been feeling the pressure that TCU was getting. All credit to TCU and DHJR for a well played game on both sides. He reacted and stayed composed even when TCU was flying around and getting into the pocket.
Awesome to see him get his first rushing TD! The man scores points, period.

TCU GAME NOTEBOOK: NICK BOSA SUFFERS INJURY, AUSTIN MACK BATTLES DROPS, DWAYNE HASKINS RUNS FOR A TOUCHDOWN AND RYAN DAY COMPLETES HEAD COACHING TENURE
HE CAN RUN
While it’s widely accepted at this point that Haskins is a more gifted downfield passer than J.T. Barrett was at Ohio State, it’s also well-established that Haskins isn’t as skilled a runner as Barrett was. And while it’s mostly the positives of Haskins’ increased passing aptitude that have been highlighted through the start of his tenure as the Buckeyes’ starting quarterback, the absence of Barrett’s running ability was noticeable for much of Saturday’s game.
In situations where the Buckeyes have often leaned on Barrett to run the ball in the past, the Buckeyes haven’t turned to Haskins to do the same, and there were times in Saturday’s game – particularly in 3rd-and-short situations, on a night where the Buckeyes went just 4-of-12 on third downs – when a quarterback keeper would have been the more effective play. But when the Buckeyes needed one more score early in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game to help finish the Horned Frogs off, Haskins finally showed he can do it, pulling the ball away from J.K. Dobbins on a read option and running behind a block from Rashod Berry to the left side of the end zone for a 5-yard touchdown.
While it was presumptive to think Haskins would give the ball to Dobbins in that situation – given that Haskins ran the ball only two other times in Saturday’s game – that was why the play worked. Haskins said he saw the defensive end crashing down toward Dobbins on the play, and that was why he chose to keep the ball himself.
“We saw the end was crunching in hard,” Haskins said. “So that's why we called that play.”
Dobbins said he wasn’t surprised that Haskins made the decision to keep the ball, because he saw the same thing Haskins did.
“I wasn't that shocked,” Dobbins said. “I seen the end crash and I saw a big opening. It was like, please go score!”
Day credited fellow offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson with identifying the fact that the defensive end had been leaving the outside open and making the decision to call that play, setting up the opportunity for Haskins to score the first rushing touchdown of his career.
“He said that two plays earlier, we called a play where the fullback came across and crunched the defensive end. He said he was coming real hard. So Kevin says, if we call the play where he can read the guy, that we've got a chance to hit it. And he was exactly right,” Day said. “He was right on the money. The timing was right. So he pulled it; he read it. And then Rashod came around and led the way. Big play in the game.
“Dwayne can beat you with his feet,” Day said. “That's a part of his game. It's not the biggest part of his game, but it is part of his game.”

Legit Heisman contender, and last night cemented that claim. Not saying he wins it, but if the country wasn't on notice the first 2 weeks, they damn sure are now! I'd take Haskins in a heartbeat to battle over 98% of the CFB QBs. Kid has an amazing arm, great leadership skills, and phenomenal pocket presence. So many times last night, I figured he'd tuck and run(still having JTB flashbacks), but he pulled it back, looked down field and rifled it to a WR. Whether the WR caught or dropped the pass, this part of the offense hasn't been seen almost ever since Urban took over, but is something that looks very reminiscent of OU(Wilson). And I'm sure Day has worked diligently with Dwayne on finding the WRs and letting the playmakers make plays instead of getting the "cheap yards" with his own feet and risking 3-5yds instead of having his eyes down the field and getting 20.

The underthrown ball to Victor was probably the low point of his night as it’d probably have resulted in 6; however, if that’s the worst part of his night, that says plenty.
He throws to where only his guy can make a play on it. It’s obvious he has outstanding field awareness because he didn’t throw any “dangerous” passes. It’s not just the arm talent for days — he has it upstairs too.
A couple misfires, sure. But think about it. He had FOUR drops. He consistently puts it where it needs to be at such a high clip it’s mindblowing.
The fact Jordan’s snap isssuss had no negative effect on his rhythm is kind of insane too.

How wild would it be that the #1 pick in the NFL draft could be between Bosa and HASKINS ?!?!?!?!

National Player of the Week
Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State: The first-year starter showed off his impressive arm talent in the Buckeyes' 40-28 win over TCU in Arlington. Haskins' first deep pass to Austin Mack for 48 yards was a preview of what was to come. Haskins threw for 344 yards -- with a few drops -- and scored three total touchdowns in the statement win of Week 3.

Elite passer and still has room to improve. Only weakness I have seen this far is that there are some plays that it seems he pre-determines who the pass is going to and if he just gave it another second to scan the field he would see a wide open receiver elsewhere. He is so accurate with his throws though that he can get by with it. He is at his best in fast tempo and make the OL look even better because of his quick release.

I'd like to see him pull and run a bit more. Definitely not to JT Barrett level, but so far from what i've seen defenses definitely don't expect/respect him doing so. A few pull and keep decent chunk gains here and there would open up a bit more for the RBs
