Top three Dwayne Haskins moments at Ohio State
By Ryan Stano
Coming into the final game of the 2018 season, the Buckeyes knew that they needed something special to put themselves in the conversation to make the College Football Playoff. But first, they had to take on TTUN in Columbus in a game that TTUN was favored in.
No matter. Dwayne Haskins had it under control. Not only did the Buckeyes knock TTUN out of the College Football Playoff talk, but they did so in blowout fashion. Ohio State destroyed TTUN 62-39 in a game that really got out of hand in the second half when the Buckeyes started to click.
Haskins was sensational in this game. He was 20-31 for 399 yards and 6 touchdowns. Perhaps most impressively, he didn’t turn the ball over in this game. It was one of the most fun games that Ohio State fans had seen all season long. It was so satisfying to watch.
It was great for Haskins because he knocked TTUN out of a chance to win the Big Ten title and the College Football Playoff. It also cemented his candidacy for the Heisman Trophy. Haskins ended up being a Finalist for the trophy but ended up not winning it.
This game is a game that Buckeye fans will rewatch on YouTube for years to come. Haskins played perhaps the best game of his career up to that point in this game, only to outdo himself in the following week against Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship Game.

I will remember Haskins for all of these moments and more. It’s a shame that he is gone so soon. I would encourage you all to rewatch these moments as a tribute to a man gone too soon from our lives.
