After four weeks of awesome offense and dominant play from Dwayne Haskins, last week’s struggles against a pretty mediocre Penn State defense were pretty jarring. He didn’t handle the pressure well, and with Penn State blitzing on seeming every play, Haskins was unable to get into the rhythm that he needs to be in order to be successful.
The second half, more specifically, the fourth quarter, saw Ohio State finally adjust and figure out the defense, but it wasn’t with down the field passing. Instead, Ohio State started dropping Haskins further back, and throwing almost exclusively to screen routes.
