QB1 Will Howard (National Champion, Pittsburgh Steelers)

Agree that this is a bummer. Waaay too early to tell, but many a QB has had a lucrative career as a back-up in the league. Would certainly hope that Will gets a shot somewhere as a starter, but the pyramid gets smaller the higher one goes. But count me in the group that believes he's gonna do something in the NFL.....

So the implication is that they'll waive him and resign to practice squad.. my guess

They'll put him on short term IR before waiving him. If he was waived, there's a significant possibility Chip claims him since they're down to two QBs

One door closes, and another door opens. Heck the Brownies seem to be collecting QBs.....

'The Way He Throws It Is Different': Will Howard Praises Ohio State's Julian Sayin​

The "Big Noon Kickoff" crew brought some serious championship pedigree to the set ahead of the massive Week 1 clash between No. 1 Texas and No. 3 Ohio State.

Former Buckeye quarterback Will Howard, fresh off a national title run last season, and Texas legend Vince Young, who famously led the Longhorns to a national championship victory over USC in the 2006 Rose Bowl Game, joined the show to talk about the must-see matchup and the two young quarterbacks set to define it.

Howard, who is now set to embark on his rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, is all-in on Ohio State first-year starter Julian Sayin.

"I’m telling you, this kid — he’s got it," Howard said. "I'm excited to see him go out there and just let it rip. He’s a super-talented kid."

Howard, who has a cannon of an arm himself, was quick to credit Sayin's arm strength and his ability to spin the football, something Buckeye fans hope to see on full display Saturday against the top-ranked Longhorns.

The way he throws the ball is different," Howard said of Sayin. "I know he’s got it all in there, and I’m just excited to watch him go do it."

Riley might not have stumbled a run for a TD. But he was not winning us a Natty. Appreciate ya Will.

This is very much worth talking to ND friends (if you have any) about.

As a theoretical exercise of course, not to rub a dump truck worth of salt in the wound.



You looked at Riley Leonard and said, "yep, that's the guy" AND were sneaky dicks about it. Keep that in mind the next time you feel a twinge of pity for a former Buckeye turned Domer coach.

What a 3 1/2 hour long dong punch it must have been for the ND braintrust to watch their fuckup unfold like that.
