Howard is treated by pretty much everyone as some kind of completely pedestrian cog regardless of what he does. He's 9 for 9 against Nebraska with beautiful deep 40yd/60yd TD passes to two different guys. Not a word about his perfect 60yd TD pass - just effusive praise for (admittedly incredible) WR Smith.
Eddie George, hanging out in the booth, said the weakness of Ohio State's offense is that Will Howard needs to stretch the field more (this immediately after his 2nd long TD pass). Wut? Isn't their O line pretty terrible?
I don't think Will is the best QB in college FB or anything, but it's wild to see his great execution (aside from the Oregon faceplant) being taken completely for granted.
