The Ohio State Buckeyes are going to have a hard time recovering from their third straight loss to the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday. The Buckeyes’ offense looked completely inept at various points throughout the game, and now there’s further context on just how poor things were for quarterback Will Howard.
“None of Will Howard’s 33 passing attempts traveled more than 20 yards through the air as he completed a season-low 57.6% of his passes for 175 yards with 2 INTs against Michigan,” reported Ohio State website Eleven Warriors.

Fans reacted to the brutal news on social media.
“Meanwhile, Kyle McCord continues to be the best quarterback in college football,” one fan said on Twitter, referencing the Buckeyes’ previous starting quarterback who transferred to play ball for the Syracuse Orange.
“Honestly not trolling… But do you think the hit he took had any impact on his play. Just didn’t look the same after,” one fan said, referencing a brutal hit that Howard took in the first half of Saturday’s loss.
“Not one deep shot just too keep them honest…. That’s 8 year old madden football 101,” one fan added.
“He’s always sucked, the OSU media hyped him up, he’s not better than McCord, actually prob worse,” another fan added.
It’ll be interesting to see if Howard’s incompetence goes on to cost Ohio State head coach Ryan Day his job.
