Amazing how well this OL is playing. 4 hurries through 3 games? Haskins is just sitting back there picking teams apart and best yet when he is pressured he's making quick decisions. The length the OL has i think really helps in pass pro.

We saw exactly that against TCU. He gave all night until we were in the RZ, then kept it and waltzed in as nobody respected the read.
I think that's exactly how it needs to be executed and the only time Haskins actually makes the read.

DWAYNE HASKINS, RYAN DAY BRING IN “NEW WAVE” OF OFFENSE, YET BOTH BELIEVE QUARTERBACK RUNS REMAIN NECESSARY OPTIONS
Call what has happened to Ohio State’s offense “the new wave,” if you must.
The all-white hat sitting backward atop Dwayne Haskins’ head as he spoke to the media Wednesday night had those three words embroidered. They happen to be a perfect metaphor for his team’s offensive transformation this season.
Last year’s quarterback run-heavy offense has been well documented. On countless third-and-short opportunities, J.T. Barrett rammed up the middle as he tried to get a first down. He often looked to scramble.
That style of offense still showed up in the first couple games when Tate Martell entered the game to give the defense a different look. But with Haskins running the show, the Buckeyes have taken advantage of the 6-foot-3 quarterback’s precision and arm strength instead of relying on his legs.
Through three games, Haskins has just seven rushes and does not have more than three carries in a single game. Barrett didn’t have a single game last season with fewer than five rushing attempts, and reached double-digit carries in eight games.
At no point this year have the Buckeyes seemed likely to have Haskins carry the ball more, but Haskins said that part of the game has not been eliminated from the offense.
“I definitely feel like my legs are a part of my game,” Haskins said. “It might not be the biggest part, but it definitely is there. Plays where it has to be read a defensive lineman or a linebacker and I have to pull it. If that's called when I read it, then it's part of the game plan.”
Ryan Day, who is back in his role as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after finishing his stint as acting head coach, said he felt it important for defenses to account for the quarterback run.
That came into play in Saturday’s win against TCU, when Haskins read a defender crashing down the line, pulled the ball and ran it in for a five-yard touchdown. Kevin Wilson, watching the game from the press box, noticed the end chasing the running back and called for Haskins to run a read option.
“Any time that happens and, I think, a defensive coordinator sees that, they have to account for him,” Day said. “Once they account for him, job done. We're trying to be creative in how we do that. As long as you're a threat, then I think a defense has to at least account for it.”

And to think we left 4 sure TDs and one or two FGs on the field. 40 + 31 = 71 pts

I know the running game has been a little disappointing this year, but I think it's really going to shine in the second half of big games. Without a consistent QB running threat, it's going to take time for the passing game to loosen up the back seven of opposing defenses before more opportunities present themselves. And I think that happened in the TCU game. Don't have time now to go back and break it down, but looking at the play summary, the RBs were getting chunk runs with Haskins sprinkling in some nice passes at key moments during the last 3 drives.
It might also just be that this OL is more skilled at pass blocking. I haven't really seen a breakdown of their performances, but I wouldn't be surprised.
