He wasn’t sliding feet first. Therefore, he wasn’t defenseless. It was a clean hit.
Howard is mobile, but he’s not a good runner. A good runner doesn’t let someone tee off on him like that.

I’m sure Brown was “ready”, meaning he knows how to run the offense. Problem is, Brown isn’t very good. His accuracy is not good (similar to Howard vs. tcun, his worst game) and he’s the slowest ‘mobile’ qb I’ve seen.

You don't have to look elsewhere. Urban Meyer had not one, but 2 backups ready to play in 2014 and Dwayne Haskins ready to come in and drive a stake in scUM in 2019. Having no one ready to play in last year's Cotton Bowl was coaching negligence and I'm not confident any of our current backups are ready to step in this year either.

Day has not done a good job the last few years of getting the backup QB meaningful reps during games. There have been plenty of opportunities and he just refuses to put them in for any length of time. Even when they’re in it’s pretty vanilla.
Of course this isn’t just true of the QBs.

There have been questions about the Ohio State concussion protocol.
The OSU policy on concussions is here: https://ohiostatebuckeyes.com/documents/2023/11/8/safety-osuda-concussion-policy.pdf
The relevant section reads: RECOGNITION AND DIAGNOSIS OF A CONCUSSION- Any student-athlete that experiences concussion-like symptoms will be withdrawn from practice/competition and will be evaluated by the AT and/or team physician. Under no circumstance should a student-athlete return to participation on the same calendar day if concussion is confirmed.- Upon confirmation of concussion diagnosis, the student-athlete should undergo an evaluation by the AT and/or Team Physician that consists of symptom assessment, SCAT5 evaluation, and clinical evaluation for cervical spine trauma, fractures and/or intracranial bleeding. The King-Devick Sideline Concussion Screening test will be prescribed for student-athlete at the team physicians’ discretion.
The King-Devick Sideline Concussion Screening test: The test is explained in a scientific paper and the results of 31 prior papers are studied in a meta-analysis (a study of studies). The researchers find that the...
"Rapid number naming (K-D test), a timed vision based measure that requires the integration of eye movements, number identification, demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing concussed athletes from controls."

Defenseless or not, it was forceable contact to the head/neck area and it was worth looking to see if there was a launch.
I know OSU has been flagged for less. Acting like it was no big deal from Klatt and the booth not even stopping to take a look at it was bad all the way around.

So what we do for our kids (granted it's Nationwide Children's ATs at the place I'm at), they have a series of questions, I want to say 32 in total, where the kids are asked various things.
If they score as low as a 1, they are taken out for precautionary reasons. So saying something like "I have a headache" and you get taken out immediately. Maybe Howard knew this and was cognizant enough to evade the questions, maybe the full screening wasn't attempted, I don't know. But he seemed to be moving in slow motion after that hit and especially after halftime.

I lead, you follow.
Looking at play notes from early and mid-season and then contrasting them vs The Game.
What's incredibly eye-opening is the lack of significant progress and consistent improvement week to week from Will's decision making and ball placement. Mistakes made week 1 were mistakes made week 8, and mistakes made week 8 were made week 12/13.
I can't quite tell if it's a chicken or the egg... Perhaps a bit of both? It's indictive of his abilities and ceiling as a QB but also the coaching staff on growing him as a passer. WH came to tOSU to improve his mental and physical talents along with his NFL stock. I fear we've sort of failed him in that regard.
But he and the coaches have a playoff run to help turn that perception around and give Will a fighters chance at a draft slot.

I'm no expert, but it appears that they have a protocol that includes normal concussion criteria. The questions are asked at speed, observing eye movement responses. It makes it very difficult to hide a concussion. He may have had a borderline concussion and a couple of the later hits he took might have made that worse. I guess. Apparently, that test is the standard in international rugby as well.
