Will Howard and the Ohio State football team were on a bye week last week, but they traveled to play Oregon the week prior. The Buckeyes lost, and they are now hoping for a bounce back win against Nebraska. The Cornhuskers are currently 5-2, and it will be very tough for them to go into Columbus and come out with a win.

However, the Nittany Lions never offered Howard a scholarship, and he committed to Kansas State. He appeared in 34 games with the Wildcats before transferring to Ohio State before this season.

Ohio State quarterback Will Howard is headed home next weekend to face the team he grew up rooting for hoping to make a fool out of them. Even after a 21-17 win over Nebraska where he was disappointed with the way the Buckeyes’ offense played he couldn’t hid his eagerness to face Penn State.
