There weren’t a lot of positives to take from Ohio State’s 49-20 humiliation at Purdue.
The young men of the football team got outdoors to for some fresh air and exercise. That’s always nice.
And Art Schlichter’s name was erased from two more lines of the Ohio State passing record book. That’s a bonus as well.
Redshirt sophomore Dwayne Haskins set single-game OSU records for completions (49), attempts (73), and passing yards (470).
It was the third time in three weeks that Haskins surpassed 400 yards passing in a game.
That was something a Buckeye quarterback only accomplished once in the first 46,906 days of the program’s existence.
Two-thirds of the way through his first regular season as a starting quarterback, he is already ludicrously high on many categories in the Ohio State football record book – for single game, single season, and even career stats.
Here’s a look at where he ranks on every major OSU passing record.
Single Game Passing Yards
OSU Record: 470 by Dwayne Haskins (2018 vs. Purdue)
Haskins: 470 vs. Purdue. His last three games have been the 1st, and 3rd, and 4th-most yards ever thrown for in a single game.
Single Season Passing Yards
OSU Record: 3,330 by Joe Germaine (1998)
Haskins: 2,801 through eight games. That already puts him in 5th place all-time. He now ranks between J.T. Barrett’s 2014 (2,834) and 2016 (2,555).

OSU Record: 9,434 by J.T. Barrett
Haskins: 3,366 so far. He is currently in 13th place all-time, between Terrelle Pryor and Todd Boeckman.

Career Pass Attempts
OSU Record: 1,211 by J.T. Barrett
Haskins: 372. Unless you think he’s going to play until he’s a fifth-year senior, this one is probably safe. Jim Karsatos is in 10th place with 629.

Haskins: 49 vs. Purdue
Single Season Pass Completions

Career Pass Completions
OSU Record: 769 by J.T. Barrett
Haskins: 264. Jim Karsatos is 10th all-time with 359. That is definitely within reach this season.

Haskins: 87.5% vs. Tulane (21-for-24), 3rd all-time. 86.9% vs. Rutgers (20-for-23), 4th all-time. He had two of the four most accurate passing performances in OSU history in his first four starts.

Single Season Touchdown Passes
OSU Record: 35 by J.T. Barrett (2017)

Career Touchdown Passes
OSU Record: 104 by J.T. Barrett
Haskins: 34. He’s not going to catch Barrett this year, but he in on pace to finish the postseason in second place all-time ahead of Bobby Hoying (57).
Single Season Passing Yards Per Game
OSU Record: 277.5 by Joe Germaine (1998)
Haskins: 350 so far. His average game this season would have ranked 6th all-time in single game passing coming into the year.
