QB Joe Burrow leaves OSU
Per his twitter: https://twitter.com/Joe_Burrow10/status/993884325383942144
Can infer that Haskins is your starting QB, and he very much looked the part last year, and Martell the backup. It will be interesting to see Burrow's landing spot, as many have speculated on Nebraska, but he would most likely have to pay his way there.
Personally I belive they didn't fully appreciate JT Barret and his legs. In a UMF offense, QB legs have been shown to be more important than QB throws. Many a time I watched OSU football where the QB had no options to throw it to and still burned a defense with QB legs. It could be 3rd down and 19 and off JT runs for 19 yards...
OSU will win games but I am not bullish on them to win the BIG or make it to the playoffs. Haskins is good but once teams have film on him the story is going to be VERY different.
is he doesn't make throws on schedule and is a see it thrower instead of throwing with anticipation. JT is often a beat late on his reads which is why OSU fans are frustrated with him.
Yes, it's nice that he can run but OSU offense looks out of sorts in the last few seasons and JT is part of the reason why.
said that OSU offense is so explosive and efficient because they had so much talent and athleticism that they destroy teams but the offense never seem to flow as well as you think they would based on stats.
Their biggest passing struggles is mostly on JT Barrett and I've seen him hold onto ball too long because he's unsure of what he's seeing unless they're wide open. That's also a biggest problem with Denard. When OSU face against elite defense, they struggled because they need their passing game to get it going in which they couldn't under Barrett.
There is a reason why JT Barrett went undrafted.
very true. Also, the offense was way too predictable because of JTB's limitations. He is in the pantheon of Buckeyes, but the limitations were maddening. Michigan beats Ohio State last year if JTB doesn't get hurt. Ohio State beats Wisky 42-10 and passes the 2017 CFP "eye test" if Haskins started the Big Ten championship game. He doesn't miss two wide open WRs down field, doesn't throw the gift to the Wisky LB on his own 8 yard line, and doesn't miss Dobbins on the screen with 70 yards of open field in front of him. JTB was a warrior, but there are multiple reasons he didn't get drafted.
But I'm very concerned about the lack of depth behind Haskins.

*18.9 yards
BTW, per Danny Kanell today on ESPNU radio, Haskins is a more proven QB than Patterson. Yes, he said that.
Of course, this is also the guy who proclaimed "Peppers faked an injury to get out of the Orange Bowl" nonstop, so his take on anything Michigan is . . . complete and utter sh**.
Cheap or not, Haskins is probably going to get the best body shots opponents can deliver this year.
is his rumored destination from OSU sites.
osu sucks

This is irrelevant since Haskins definitely won't get hurt this year and OSU is a lock to win the conference....
I for one think Haskins looked very good.
and man, I am sick of those f***ing buckeyes.
