Rose bowl is barely watchable. It sounds like a morgue in there. A couple nice passes by Haskins, but when in the world did the Rose bowl turn into such a ho hum game? Maybe Haskins is off his feed today, IDK. But his work out there today is NOT inspiring anybody to move up the board to #1 for him. I know he has been rated highly most of season, but what i just saw in 2nd qtr was really blah. And no, he does not look sharp. Nor does he look like someone a Qb needy team would want to move up for. Sure, someone or some two might just do that, but right now? Mistake.
This game is just boring. And still quiet as a tomb. Maybe Ohio State comes alive in 2nd half but wow...uninspiring game. State's DBs look pretty darn good breaking up passes. And UW looks moribund also. Got spoiled int the ALA game . We saw some players there. Neither of these teams would have given ALA a game.
Like others i had hoped Haskins would tear it up. No soap so far.
He's up against a pretty good defense with a lot of NFL caliber players, he's not going up against Weber State. He's played pretty well, has moved the football down the field consistently and has made some great throws, has looked in control at the line of scrimmage.
