Closer look at the on-field tribute to Dwayne Haskins today in the Horseshoe.

The way some NFL reporters are talking about Dwayne Haskins is truly despicable. He was a human being with family, friends and teammates who loved him.
I’m going to remember and appreciate the Dwayne I was fortunate enough to know and spend the rest of the weekend with my family.

Dwayne Haskins was simply sensational in 2018, and the way he helped revolutionize Ohio State’s passing game was a thrill to watch. He was generous with time off the field, his teammates loved him and he was fiercely loyal with his family.
It was a blessing to cover and know him.

I have this crazy theory that maybe — MAYBE — Connor Stalions wasn’t the only one involved.
Michigan announces linebackers coach Chris Partridge has been fired. No reason given. Rick Minter, father of defensive coordinator Jesse Minter and a longtime college coach, will serve as linebackers coach going forward.

This is remarkable. Even the NCAA doctor is now signing off on football.
Every day there’s a development that makes it harder for the Big Ten to justify the postponement — which, of course, could have been avoided by just delaying.
NCAA’s Dr. Brian Hainline: “I work very closely with the SEC, Big 12, ACC and all of the autonomy five conferences… the final recommendations were exactly aligned with the NCAA decisions. So I’m highly confident, from a decision making point of view, with regards to football.”
