Dwayne Haskins at least had some early inkling that he might be called upon to bring his Buckeyes across the finish line. Cardale Jones was afforded no such luxury three years ago.
Jones took advantage of the fact that his Los Angeles Chargers played on Thursday last week and was in Ann Arbor, Michigan, last Saturday to watch what felt like an otherwise familiar scene unfold in Ohio State's final regular-season game. He said he was in the Michigan Stadium press box when starting quarterback J.T. Barrett left the game because of a leg injury.
