Ohio State football headed into the Week 4 matchup against Tulane with their head coach Urban Meyer returning from suspension.

Ohio State football wanted to continue their hot start to the season after coming away with a huge victory over TCU in Week 3. With head coach Urban Meyer back on the sidelines, it was safe to wonder how the offense would look during his first game of the season.

The offense didn’t look to be out of rhythm at all, as they put up an excellent performance and cruised to victory,

What were some of the important stories from this Week 4 contest versus the Green Wave?

Take a look at the 3 biggest takeaways from a dominant Buckeye win.

3. Dwayne Haskins continued his dominant play

Is Haskins the front-runner for the Heisman? After Saturday’s performance, it is clear he should be first or second on most of the major media rankings.

He is one of the most accurate passers Ohio State has seen in over a decade, and he brings a new dimension to this offense that could redefine the Big Ten.

With Dwayne Haskins throwing the ball so accurately down the field, the Buckeyes are a legitimate threat to score against any defense in the country.

Haskins looked to be in a rhythm from the opening whistle, as Ohio State marched downfield to score two quick touchdowns in the first quarter.

The first half of the game saw him put on a passing clinic against the Green Wave. He finished the game 21-for-24 with 304 yards passing and threw five touchdowns as the offense moved down the field with ease.

Rather than risk an injury in a meaningless second half Tate Martell took over for the Buckeyes.
