It's been assumed, but now it's official: Dwayne Haskins is Ohio State's starting quarterback, acting head coach Ryan Day announced on Monday.
Day said that while both Haskins and Tate Martell played well in fall camp, and that Martell "made a big push," Haskins will start on Saturday and will be the starter, though he also said the team currently plans to play Martell.

How Martell is used remains to be seen, but Day made it clear that Haskins will take the first snaps, and the vast majority of the snaps this season.
