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

Yep

First-Start Efficiency: 209.3067

Truly outstanding

Now I really want to see him handle pressure better. For a first start though, he was spectacular

Second-Start: 229.4435
YTD: 218.0453

I’m a huge J.T. Barrett fan, but I must concede that he built the 2nd best career efficiency rating somewhat unevenly. In other words, his efficiency was more affected by the quality of competition than some of the other qbs in the record book.

With Dwayne’s accuracy, release and decision-making, I expect to see him affected less than most. He might dip down to < 120 in rare cases, but I doubt he ever dips to double-digits

Efficiency: 156.57 against a good defense in spite of several drops.

That’s a Troy Smith level performance

Troy Smith as a senior that is

...and 262.65 in his 4th start

He’s going to eviscerate the Nits

Football: Dwayne Haskins continues historic start as Ohio State quarterback

IMG_2023-zc1bdx-530x353.jpg


Ohio State redshirt sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins did not have to prove anything to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Ryan Day.

Through the first three games of the season, Haskins, under Day, threw 11 touchdowns in the first three games of the season, completing 72.5 percent of his pass attempts with two games of at least 300 passing yards.

With the return of Urban Meyer, after serving his three-game suspension to start the season, Haskins had a reputation to uphold for a head coach who had not seen him play on the sidelines yet this season.

That reputation was secured by halftime.

Haskins led an offense that scored 42 points on 425 yards of offense in the first half, and completed 21 of 24 pass attempts for 304 yards, throwing five touchdowns, becoming the third quarterback in Ohio State history to have multiple five-touchdown games in his career.

In four starts, the redshirt sophomore quarterback has thrown for over 300 yards in a game three times, which is tied for third-most in Ohio State history behind former Ohio State quarterbacks J.T. Barrett and Joe Germaine.

However, even with the return of Meyer, a head coach who had not seen his starting quarterback lead a team in person, Haskins really did not feel he had anything to prove to him.

He felt he did that last season.

“I feel like I proved to Coach last year during the Michigan game what I could do on the field and it’s a matter of time of me getting comfortable,” Haskins said. “Having him on the field today was just showing coach, ‘Hey look, I’ve been working since you have been gone and tell me how you think.’”

Through his first four games as the starting quarterback at Ohio State, Haskins said he’s performed better than expected, having the goal of going out as a leader and winning games with the help of the other pieces of the offense.

With that, Haskins had one goal in mind.

“I just want to show how dangerous the offense is, and with me at the helm a lot of plays can be made,” Haskins said.

You misspelled GOAT

But..but...TUA!

For all the hype Tua is receiving, I honestly believe that Haskins is better. He's already statistically better than Tua against comparable opponents and I think he's more accurate on the deep balls. Haskins is hitting players in stride while Alabama's receivers have to make adjustments limiting their YAC in some cases. Plus we've seen Haskins under pressure with TTUN last year and TCU this year. I've got a feeling that Tua can get rattled if you get in his face.

“Well, that is lost yardage,” Meyer said of the diminished quarterback run plans for Haskins. “Obviously statistically and production-wise he’s been great, but the lost yardage is the Q run, Q draw, and Q read plays. So you have to pick up that yardage somewhere else.

Uhh yea you either have Haskins throw or run with Weber or Dobbins, please don't mess this up Meyer

To me, this statement just reaffirms Meyer's philosophy and his love of running QB's. It also confirms to me why JT started the the B1G championship game after having surgery a few days prior to the game. It makes me concerned that Meyer's going to get more runs out of the offense with Haskins ala Cardale in 2015.
