Howard Prepares for High-Stakes Penn State Showdown

Ohio State quarterback Will Howard is eagerly anticipating a significant matchup against Penn State, a team he grew up supporting but was not recruited by. Despite a strong performance against Nebraska, Howard's focus remains on the upcoming game at Penn State, which he views as a homecoming and a chance to prove his worth. Howard, a three-star recruit from Downingtown, Pennsylvania, transferred to Ohio State after a successful tenure at Kansas State. The game is of high stakes as Ohio State, ranked fourth, faces an undefeated Penn State, ranked third, making it a crucial Big Ten showdown. Additionally, for the first time, Penn State will host both ESPN's College GameDay and Fox's Big Noon Kickoff, highlighting the importance of the event. Howard's performance and the outcome could impact Ohio State's quest for the Big Ten championship and playoff aspirations.
