Dwayne Haskins claps back at Shareef Miller after ‘folding’ comment

Published:
It sounds like Penn State’s defense is confident heading into Saturday night’s big-time showdown.
Confidence is one thing. Slowing down Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins is something else entirely. Through four games, no one has been able to do that. Haskins has completed 75.7% of his passes and has thrown for 16 TDs with just one interception.
Despite the challenge ahead, Nittany Lions DE Shareef Miller believes the defense can take care of business. Miller believes the key to slowing down Haskins is to get in the backfield and hit him throughout the game. He even claimed a couple of teammates who played with Haskins said the Buckeyes’ QB will “fold” when hit a lot of times during the game.
Eleven Warriors shared the video of Miller’s comments:

Haskins found time Saturday to respond to the video on Twitter. He cautioned Miller that he was “poking the wrong lion” with his comments ahead of game time.

Both teams already had a lot to play for Saturday. Now, it sounds like a bit of bad blood will be added to the matchup. One thing’s for certain: Happy Valley will be rocking with a White Out.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 pm EST on ABC.
