Because everyone watched the OSU PSU game and his 2 4th quarter TD's were short passes that the wideouts turned into great plays.
Also, the stat measures passes over 20 yards. and yes in the highlights 4 of the 6 passes were into the endzone, but only 2 of the passes were over 20 yards.
But the point is, they were no short throws with the WR turning them into YAC.
And, one of them was from about the 15 but was thrown at least 7 yards into the end zone.
Or perhaps you agree with the crowd, Haskins is only good for short throws.
But then you would be in disagreement with the pro scouts who are drooling over his NFL arm on long and intermediate throws.
Or perhaps you feel that Haskins having a good but not great outing at night, at arguably the hardest place to play, is indicative of his ceiling. But then you would have to look at Bama’s QB and say the same since he hasn’t played anyone yet, or Michigan’s QB, who played one legit team so far and looked pretty bad.
For the record, I will go with the scouts and what is obvious to my eyes, and that is Haskins throws the ball all over the park with accuracy and consistency. He hits tight windows, throws guys open and makes very few mistakes.
