Haskins entered the game with 3,280 passing yards and 36 touchdown passes on the season. He added 396 passing yards and six touchdowns Saturday to close out his outstanding regular season.
Saturday's home performance against the Wolverines not only put him above NFL legend Drew Brees, but also former Buckeye standout J.T. Barrett.

Haskins' 40th touchdown broke Brees' all-time mark set in the 1998 season. It came on a pass to wide receiver K.J. Hill, giving the Buckeyes a commanding 54-32 lead on the No. 4 Wolverines.

As Heisman talks draw closer, this accomplishment is just another notch in Haskins' argument to be included in the New York City ceremony. He'll have a chance to add to his statistics in the Big Ten championship game against Northwestern on Dec. 1.
