Dwayne Haskins Strengthens Heisman Campaign, Leads Ohio State Past Minnesota

Ohio State overcame a slow start to keep its undefeated season alive with a 30-14 victory against Minnesota.

Quarterback Dwayne Haskins helped his Heisman campaign by propping up a defense that was getting pushed around early. The sophomore superstar threw for 412 yards and three touchdowns in the win.

Already facing defensive questions coming into Saturday's game, the Buckeyes were without defensive end Jonathan Cooper and linebacker Malik Harrison because of injuries. They got pushed around by Minnesota's offense, allowing 397 yards in defeat.

The Golden Gophers are still seeking their first win in Big Ten play this season.
