WATCH: Dwayne Haskins says Ohio State’s confidence is different after win vs. TCU
Published:
The first couple weeks of the 2018 season went Ohio State’s way in dominating fashion.
The Buckeyes beat up on Oregon State 77-31 and then followed that up with a 52-3 victory over Rutgers. Those two wins were expected.
Then, the first real test took place: a meeting with TCU in Texas. Ohio State passed.
The Buckeyes won the game 40-28, and while there were some hiccups, the team scored 20 points in roughly a 4-minute span while down by 8 in the third quarter. It showed heart and ability, which are both needed in order to potentially win a national title.
Up next for the team is a matchup against Tulane at Ohio Stadium. Again, the Buckeyes are highly favored. But following the 12-point win over the Horned Frogs, Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins was asked what’s different about the team.
Simply, confidence:
And Ohio State should be confident. Beating the No. 17 team in the country by double-digits in primetime at a massive venue on the road is huge.
The only thing that’s left to do now is keep winning, which the Buckeyes surely feel confident about.
