Last season, JT Barrett went down with an injury and Dwayne Haskins went into Ann Arbor and took care of business. This year, it seemed like everything was in line for the Wolverines to finally end their drought against the Buckeyes and potentially secure their bid into the college football playoff.

Haskins and the Buckeyes had a different plan, and it turned into a bloodbath in the third quarter as Ohio State came away with a decisive 62-39 victory over the Wolverines. It was the most points Ohio State had scored against Michigan in a game that almost everyone had them pegged to lose.

Haskins was brilliant in this game, beating up the talented Wolverines defense, who entered the game number one in total defense and number one against the pass (giving up less than 125 yards per game).

Haskins doubled that mark in the first half alone and finished the day 20-31 for 396 yards, six touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He had an uphill battle to break into the top two for most of the season, but if he opts to stay in school after this year he will definitely be a candidate to watch in 2019.
