Call what has happened to Ohio State’s offense “the new wave,” if you must.
The all-white hat sitting backward atop Dwayne Haskins’ head as he spoke to the media Wednesday night had those three words embroidered. They happen to be a perfect metaphor for his team’s offensive transformation this season.
Last year’s quarterback run-heavy offense has been well documented. On countless third-and-short opportunities, J.T. Barrett rammed up the middle as he tried to get a first down. He often looked to scramble.
That style of offense still showed up in the first couple games when Tate Martell entered the game to give the defense a different look.
