Ohio State players aren’t too happy about Dwayne Haskins getting disrespected
Published:
There’s not been much respect for Ohio State recently.
Last week, the Buckeyes were left out of the College Football Playoff for a second straight season, despite finishing the year 12-1 and winning the B1G. That, alone, didn’t sit well with many players.
This week, ESPN has done an excellent job of ignoring Dwayne Haskins as a worthy Heisman candidate. He was left out of an interview that included other two Heisman finalists Tua Tagovailoa and Kyler Murray.
Haskins’ teammates, and an assistant athletic director, weren’t too happy with the disrespect. They turned to Twitter to vent their frustrations.
It’s been feeling like Ohio Against The World lately…

When ESPN College GameDay host Rece Davis tried to provide an explanation, he got ripped apart by several Ohio State fans.
The Buckeyes have been out in full force today, defending one of the nation’s top quarterbacks. And for good reason.
Haskins is in New York City, where the Heisman Trophy will be announced. The ceremony will air on ESPN and will start at 8 p.m.
