There is still plenty of love between Joe Burrow and his former teammate, Dwayne Haskins.
Burrow tweeted on Friday that he had cast his Heisman House vote for Haskins:
I cast my Heisman ballot for #DwayneHaskins! Click the player you think deserves the Heisman House vote. (@NissanUSA)

Haskins and Burrow were teammates at Ohio State until Burrow left as a graduate transfer for LSU this year. Both players are having excellent seasons, though Haskins has been more of a standout.
Burrow, a junior, has thrown for six touchdowns and rushed for two scores, all without throwing an interception. He has led the Tigers to a 5-0 record, including wins over Miami and Auburn. Haskins is a redshirt sophomore and has been a statistical monster for the Buckeyes. He has passed for 1,464 yards, 19 touchdowns and two interceptions. Ohio State is similarly 5-0, with wins over TCU and Penn State.
Burrow was JT Barrett’s backup in 2016 and was competing with Haskins to back up Barrett last season until he was knocked out with a hand injury. Haskins played so well in limited duty last season that the Buckeyes made him the starter. Not wanting to go his entire college career without playing, Burrow transferred. The move is working out well for all parties.
