Dwayne Haskins has put up some ridiculous numbers through the first three games of the season. The stats are so good, that he became the first quarterback to do something in over a decade.

After throwing five first half touchdowns against Tulane on Saturday, Haskins had 16 scoring strikes through the first four games of the season. He became the quickest B1G quarterback to throw 15 touchdown passes since Purdue’s Curtis Painter threw 16 touchdown passes in four games in 2007.

That’s not a bad start to the season.

Haskins has been a touchdown machine for the Buckeyes, and would probably have a lot more if he wasn’t pulled early from games. But Ohio State has won so easily that he’s exited many of those games early.

Along with his high touchdown total, Haskins had completed nearly 70 percent of his passes and threw for 890 yards entering Saturday’s game against Tulane. By the end of the first half against the Green Wave, Haskins had 304 yards and five touchdowns while completing 21-of-24 passes.

The Buckeyes owned a 42-6 halftime lead.

Something tells us Haskins isn’t done setting incredible records this season.
