I'm gonna have to be a debbie downer here but a ton of those yards came from screens, and I don't think he completed a pass more than 10 yards down field. The other long pass was to Victor and the ball was high and behind but Victor made a miracle play

I mean, it very nearly happened. Haskins looked rattled all night despite coming through in the clutch.

So now im not sure what to think about NFL and maybe a 2nd year.
He'd get pilloried by any good scout w/ tonights footage. OTOH, the good scouts work for teams at the back of the 1st round. The junk teams routinely fall in love with combines and big numbers ...
And then there's how he responds rest of the year. Some weaknesses were made apparent tonight, though. Opponents will try to repeat that.
WRs need to catch balls in the 1st half.

He got no help in the 1st half ... but he was inaccurate rest of the game. Most of that came on screens and WRs making some crazy catches and moves on poor throws.
It's not all on him... esp what happened in 1st half ... but he did struggle to bounce back and never returned to form.

Great day to be a Buckeye
He was just off today...those on the money throws of the first 4 games just weren't there tonight. Pressure and environment I'm sure played a part, but the accuracy just wasn't there tonight. Here's hoping next week is a nice rebound game for him.

I like how the vid preview is him with the wise chin stroke as if he is saying something monumental. "If you hit a QB a lot...he'll play worse." Rhodes Scholarship worthy shit right there.
A little weary to go back and watch some of the early offensive play. I was thinking earlier this week that Haskins was eventually going to have a bad game, it just depended on when that game was and how he responded. We'll it seems like he came through in the clutch, even if much of it was on screens.
Impressed that he bounced back. Hoping that he and the coaches learn a lot from the struggles in this game.

Question. Clearly, he's feeling like he got his arse kicked. How exactly will he lick his wounds?

Dwayne Haskins Leads ‘One Of The Great Drives In Ohio State History’
The Penn State student section was at his back and to his left and right. A wall of sound, accented with ferociously shaking white pom-poms surrounded him from three sides.
He had 96 yards to go, and only 4:35 left on the game clock to do it.
The Buckeyes were down 26-21, and only a touchdown would do.
An unbeaten season, a chance to grab control of the Big Ten East, and stay in control of its College Football Playoff destiny was on the line.
Since he was 10 years old, Dwayne Haskins had wanted to be the starting quarterback at Ohio State. Now he was going to get a chance to try to live out his dream – leading the Buckeyes the length of the field in front of 110,889 fans in a hostile road environment.
No pressure, right?
Eight plays and 96 yards later, Haskins capped one of the most dramatic drives in Ohio State football history with a 24-yard pass to K.J. Hill.
Hill caught a quick screen, dodged around a block from Austin Mack, and raced up the sideline to the end zone.
“We just had adversity to earn, we had to keep fighting, keep swinging,” Haskins said. “You know it wasn’t pretty, pretty much the whole game, but we relied on each other, we had faith in each other, and we came out on top.”
Urban Meyer called it “One of the great drives in Ohio State history.”

Ain’t nobody got time for that
I went back and watched the game again. It is fair to say that he wasn’t as accurate as he has been, but is it realistic to expect 75% completion every game? He had as many bad throws as the receivers’ had drops and the quick slants and screens aren’t exactly gimmees.
Elite performance? No, but I don’t think he struggled or was rattled. There really wasn’t much to throw to most of the game and the only INT was on a great toss that Berry didn’t bring in. Haskins’s passing performance was still better than 90% of the passing performances we’ve seen from the QB position the last couple of years.
