Dwayne Haskins continues to shine as the Ohio State QB. The Buckeyes star had a huge day against Minnesota with 33 completions, 412 passing yards and three touchdowns. He became the first Buckeye quarterback to throw for at least 400 yards twice in his career.
Last week against the Hoosier defense, Haskins was three yards short of breaking Art Schlichter’s single game passing record of 458 yards. After week 7, Haskins is the FBS leader in passing touchdowns with 28 and he ranks third among all FBS quarterbacks in passing yards with 2,331 yards.
