Quarterback Will Howard spoke to Bri Amaranthus of sportsillustrated.com on Monday. Howard said about facing the Oregon Ducks this weekend:
“It’s going to be a good challenge. Played against Dillon (Gabriel) a couple times (in the Big 12). He’s a great player. Their defense is good. Coach (Dan) Lanning, is a good coach, and he’s going to have them ready. I’m excited to get home now and start watching some film and get ready for these guys.”
Will Howard so far this season with the Ohio State Buckeyes has completed 71.5% of his passes for 1,248 yards, 12 touchdowns, and three interceptions. He will need to play well against Dan Lanning and Dillon Gabriel this weekend. Howard also has five rushing touchdowns this season.
Confidence Is Key
Howard is confident in this offense and this team right now. He also added to the media:
“I think confidence-wise, we feel great. We continue to iron things out and get better every single week. I think we’ve learned a lot about ourselves and about this team. I think going into this game, we know that it’s a big one. I looked at (Oregon) a little bit on the bye week, and I started checking them out and seeing what they’re about. I’m excited.”
This is also a big game for Buckeyes offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. He used to be the head coach of the Oregon Ducks. Kelly wants to make sure Howard is extra prepared for this matchup.
