Dual-Threat Quarterbacks Have Found Their Homes in the Red Zone

For years, Urban Meyer's offense was based on the dual-threat quarterback.

Tim Tebow? Heisman Winner and two-time National Champion. Braxton Miller? Two-time Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year. Cardale Jones? Ran over Landon Collins en route to a CFP Championship. J.T. Barrett? Holds every major career quarterback record in the Big Ten and finished his collegiate career with over 3,000 rushing yards.

Dwayne Haskins? Finished his career averaging 1.4 yards per carry and some pretty decent passing numbers.

Haskins' style-breaking play might have been a cause for concern before the season, but as he carried the team through a number of rough showings, it became clear that he would thrive as part of a new offensive scheme under Ryan Day.
