The records keep coming in for Ohio State redshirt sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins.
In the first quarter of the Big Ten Championship Game against Northwestern, Haskins found redshirt senior wide receiver Parris Campbell on an 17-yard gain to break former Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson’s record of 4,272 total yards in a single season.
Later in the game, Haskins passed former Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett for most total touchdowns in a single season with his 48th score of the year. The touchdown came on a 42-yard pass to redshirt senior wide receiver Terry McLaurin.
Against Michigan, Haskins broke the Big Ten records for passing yards (3,985) and passing touchdowns (40), and on Wednesday, the redshirt sophomore quarterback was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year.
Haskins has led Ohio State to a 11-1 record in his first season as starting quarterback for the Buckeyes, including a 62-39 victory against then-No. 4 Michigan to get Ohio State to the conference championship game.
