Haskins is step down from Barret. Bosa left school, going pro. Offensive line is looking porous.

Haskins is a completely different QB than Barrett. Ohio State needs to have way more balance. Whereas Barrett days were unhealthy balance of the QB run (Barrett was way too careful with the ball and did not throw into coverage or deep), Haskins offense swung way to the other side. Ohio State threw 73 times. That is not normal, not when you have 2 1000 yard RBs on the team.
I called it way back in week 3 that Ohio State needs a 2nd QB package. We have a 5 star #1 dual threat recruit sitting on the bench carrying a clipboard. We need to have a package of plays in there for him.
Frankly, teams have bad games. Everyone does. How you handle adversity and bounce back matters. Season is far from over. There's still a lot of football left to be played. It's funny how starting in October, everyone assumes all the Top 10 teams are going undefeated or something. If anything Ohio State's (or the B1G champion's) cfp contender is the 2nd SEC team and not the Pac 12 team. I've said LSU will be in the CFP...but 1 more loss will keep them out of it.
