Celebrating Dwayne Haskins' Heisman Finalist Run

Dwayne Haskins finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting last night – the highest finish by a Buckeye since Troy Smith won the award in 2006 – but a lot of the focus leading up to and after the presentation centered on the lack of respect given to Ohio State's signal-caller from the national media.

And rightfully so.

Haskins was slighted at virtually every opportunity by ESPN in particular, and more importantly, by ~37 percent of voters who didn't list him on their Heisman ballot. That doesn't mean Kyler Murray wasn't deserving of the award – he was – but it does mean Haskins could've been treated a hell of a lot better.
