Author Topic: How good is Will Howard??? (Read 115812 times)

Is it just me or does Will Howard throw the most confident interceptions in college football? He’s had one each game so far (I don’t think this will continue). Each and every interception has been him stepping confidently into his throw and assuredly making the poor decision to attempt said intercepted pass.

Anyway here are Will’s 2023 per game stats and projected season numbers based on these per game numbers.

Will Howard
295-451, 3,484 yds, 26 TD, 13 INT
Per game: 23-35, 268 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT

91 rush, 400 yds, 16 TD
Per game: 7 rush, 31 yds, 1.25 TD

I am more interested in him resolving his seeming predisposition to throw passes too high than his interceptions.

He's a college quarterback passing at 66%, must not be that bad

Just want to point out that the type of interceptions Will has thrown this season are the best kind. Far better than whatever it was the UCF qb thought he was doing several times last night.

That's true, it's usually it's slants and he leads the receiver too much. But it's got to get a bit cleaner

It feels like we got 2021 Will Howard this year.

It's time to take him out to pasture (Cross post with Steve Dave does farm things thread)

Kid In the Hall · « **Reply #1234 on:** October 06, 2023, 09:34:02 PM »

Maybe we just need to go 99 Beasley offense when he couldn't throw and he just ran the ball most of the time.

Purple Derpathy · « **Reply #1235 on:** October 06, 2023, 09:52:34 PM »

My goodness Howard has been awful

catastrophe · « **Reply #1236 on:** October 06, 2023, 10:02:51 PM »

I’m not even clear how we kept it a one score game after losing the turnovers 3-0. And every one of them was 100% on Will.

RECORD WATCH

the school record for interceptions is 23 by dennis morrison back in 1972. his current pace is just 16.8, 18.2 if we get to a bowl game.

he would need to throw 2.3 int/game to tie (2 for bowl games). but they were throwing interceptions left and right back in the 60's and 70's. the record since 1980 is 17 by carl straw. so he is at least on pace to tie or surpass that.

this is something i will keep an eye on and provide updates as the season continues.

Two years ago, I would have said Howard's career arch would lead us to last night. I just didn't see that strange bump in the middle that was 2022.

If Howard avoids injury and starts every game this year then I think he has what it takes to achieve this milestone.

no self limitations

I think Will is going to pull it back together.

If will goes 4-0 over these next 4 games, we are in the drivers seat for the Dr Pepper.

I give 2-2 a 50% chance, 3-1 a 45% chance, and 4-0 a 5%.

BIG APPLE CAT · « **Reply #1244 on:** October 07, 2023, 07:38:42 PM »

Pete it would be irresponsible of you, as a statistician, to just ignore the 0-4 and 1-3 possible outcomes

That might break my brain

LoL at justifying Wills interceptions as the 'good' kind. Maybe
wrong but I don't recall any of his picks being catchable balls.

wetwillie · « **Reply #1247 on:** October 08, 2023, 05:12:59 PM »

The last one was probably the least egregious if you need to rank them

Honestly don't remember it. Don't remember thinking any were justifiable or trying to fit a window that wasn't there. Just remember thinking he locked in on one receiver or he poorly misfired in an egregious manner. Not sure what happened to him over the summer but he's regressed terriblely and it's tough to watch after seeing him play like a big swinging dick last year

wetwillie · « **Reply #1249 on:** October 08, 2023, 05:42:03 PM »

It's been perplexing for sure. There have been signs leading up to the OSU game but I didn't want to believe it.
