Buckeyes QB Will Howard sends strong warning to Dan Lanning’s Ducks ahead of the Rose Bowl

Ahead of the Rose Bowl, Ohio State Buckeyes QB Will Howard knows they will have a chance for redemption against Dan Lanning’s Oregon Ducks.

The Ohio State Buckeyes secured a solid victory over the Volunteers, earning a ticket to the Rose Bowl. In this matchup, they will face none other than the Oregon Ducks of Dan Lanning, the only undefeated team of the regular season. Will Howard hasn’t forgotten their last defeat against Dillon Gabriel’s squad and knows they have the chance for redemption.

On January 1st, both the Buckeyes and the Ducks will face off once again, this time in Pasadena, California. While these are completely different circumstances, many believe that Ryan Day’s squad can view this matchup as a chance for revenge for their narrow loss on October 12th, when they were defeated by just one point, 32-31.

Regarding this situation, Will Howard made it clear how he feels about facing Oregon once again: “Yeah, I’m excited, man,” the QB said. “It’s going to be a heck of an opportunity for all of us. We’ve all been looking forward to this one and for another crack at [those] guys. The way that last one ended doesn’t sit right with me. It still bugs me.”

Howard also added: “We did a hell of a job not letting off the gas. We could’ve let that become a game. Being able to keep the foot on the pedal was huge.”

Will Howard had a standout performance against the Tennessee Volunteers, with his teammates supporting him on offense to secure the win. He threw for 311 yards, along with two touchdown passes and one interception.
