Last year we worried because McCord was a QB who was not on the level of what Ohio State should have on the field. With his experience alone, Howard is a huge upgrade.
Howard is definitely an improvement. McCord had a great game against Ohio but stats do not always translate to winning. Also, those defensive touchdowns took away possessions for the offense so who there could’ve been more offensive scores
Im sure a lot of their fanbase is too... which would not be uncommon for a smaller in state school. These games help them with revenue and get the preseason jitters out.
well duh they're like 90 minutes north of columbus. all of ohio is buckeye country. there's a lot of zips fans in columbus, too. lots of ohioans go to school at akron. osu, ou, akron, kent, miami, cincinnati, xavier, no ohioan dislikes any of them. well except UC and Xavier fans maybe.
I want to see the offense move more fluently than they did. Will Howard settled in after 2.5 quarters. He needs to calm down and let the game come to him, little too antsy
Will Howard played great all 4 quarters lol he was one of the only ones who looked good the 1st half along with Smith and Henderson. He was nearly perfect
@@ericspicer5132 There was a few plays I feel he could have made better decisions. One play in particular was when he scrambled left and threw it back at Henderson tripping on his own feet. He didn’t have to do that there was no one around him. I wanna see him let the game come to him instead of trying to make a play work. Look at Texas they were flawless and executed plays extremely well even when Manning came in. Coaching needs to be better and performance if OSU wants to be in the big game.
@@jordansmobiledetailing5097I agree but the difference between Texas and Ohio state rn is Texas basically returned the exact same team they’ve already played together for a full season and went to the play offs together. This new Ohio state team may be more talented but they’re still figuring each other out. This is just the beginning these guys have never played together before . The Final product will be great
Gotta feel bad for Akron as an osu fan. And old man take here, but too much celebrating going on after a play. Ur playing Akron and ur running towards the other end zone after an int like u just intercepted in a big time nfl game. Cmon guys, show some class against lesser opponents. It's one thing to do that stuff against big ten teams but not Akron
As an elite team playing a lesser team you have to keep yourself psyched up and making big plays like those turnovers and then celebrating afterwards is one of those ways to keep yourself psyched up. Apparently you have not played in any sports like this at all.
You can have him...Sayin+Downs also.....Love em up ohio HOMER🤣 Alabama: *Has MORE talent this season at QB than ohio....(Not close) *has a better RB room.... *Has MORE talent,speed,athleticism,and numbers at WR than ohio and THAT is not close..... *Has a MUCH better TE room than ohio.... *Has a MUCH better O-Line room....

@@jamesniday9236all 3 of Bamas starting Wrs have a combined touchdown total of 9. Smith Had nearly a fourth of that amount in his first career game as a true freshman. Treveyon hendersons 2022 season (500 sum yards and 8 touchdowns) was also very similar to both of bamas starting rbs career stat lines combined.
I will give a little leeway for rust / 1st game. However, IMO, OSU does not look like they will be competing for the national championship this season. Yes, they won by 40+, but they just didn't look like a dominant force. Because they are OSU, they will probably stay at No. 2 until they get beat, but I do see them losing at some point during the RS.
@@JGeer1746it’s not about numbers either people need to watch the game. Half of the pressures that Howard sidestep and avoided woulda been thrown into the dirt by McCord. Gonna be the difference maker this year
People talking about McCord. Well McCord was a freshman last year. Ranked 2nd over all in the Big Ten. McCord was a very good QB. The problem was Day and his play calling. Lack of receivers hurt. Lack of running game. Day wouldn't pound the ball. All Marvin Harris giving up on routes. Harris is lazy as hell. Day lost and Harris lost that Michigan game. Stop hating McCord. Day is the blame. Watch when Day takes the play calling off of Chip. Like he has from others.
The problem was McCord. He is a whiney pos, that wanted a guarantee that he would start this year after pissing the last game of the regular season away. Also McCord was NOT a freshman. He was a redshirt sophomore last year, which means he was at ohio state for 3 years.
I am very impressed with Will Howard.
Same he can throw and run
Jeremiah Smith is going to be a problem
its against Akron, wait till he's against real competion & see how he does..
@@prdamicook then
@@prdamicois bro not supposed to dominate against Akron??
Ok course he is, my point is - lets wait to see him against a real team before we decide "he's gonna be a problem"
@prdamico he's a freshman. Doing this against scholarship athletes on the D1 level. It's impressive regardless.
Why does it feel weird to hear "the Big 10 on CBS" 😭😭
So weird omao
That theme is weird to hear too, I always associate that with SEC football and now it's on OSU games 😂
@@dope_humor for real. Used to seeing Bama vs Auburn on CBS every November
@@dope_humor😂 I always hated that theme because of the sec it was so brutal listening to there announcers gobbeling
We wont have QB questions this season howard is an upgrade for sure.
He is good but he makes some bone headed decisions sometimes

@@GBU61 we should be good in the playoffs with Howard he can make the big throws when necessary
I love watching field goals in vollege games. They look fantastic
Completely relative - but Will Howard has exceeded my expectations. Everything else about the 2024 Buckeyes has met my expectations.
Will Howard is going to be special
will howard might have a joe burrow type year if he stays healthy
I agree and he has the WRs for it too
No he won’t my gawd this is a bad take. He has the guys around him to do it but he is no joe
@@tjadams1089”my gawd” 💅
@@tjadams1089 he might
Nobody in the next decade will have a season comparable to Joe Burrow.
Opening field goal was so pretty
CBS Sports, great video dude
Howard is definitely an improvement. McCord had a great game against Ohio but stats do not always translate to winning. Also, those defensive touchdowns took away possessions for the offense so who there could’ve been more offensive scores
Of course their kickers makes the two longest field goals of his career against us.
Love the traditional OSU uni's
I wanna see the 70s mesh, tearaway jerseys
Traditional unis have Grey sleeves these do not sir
most of the akron players are probably Buckeye fans..
Im sure a lot of their fanbase is too... which would not be uncommon for a smaller in state school. These games help them with revenue and get the preseason jitters out.
I love the bucks ...I graduated from BGSU! i love the falcons too!
BGSU is literally my closest childhood d1 and i grew up playing in their ice arena. Go Falcons - diehard tOSU fan
Yeah. I’m Kent St and OSU fan. Hope Akron can take away takeaway a lot from this game. They played well despite the score.

This kid is an NFL type QB . Big strong , strong arm , runs the ball similar to dare I say Josh Allen . FutureGiants signal caller right here
Nah he didn’t just get in 1 foot, he got in both. Bro 😭😭😭😭😭

It was game 1, he's got plenty of time to fully settle in the offense before we play Oregon

@@kylegill6364 Yes. I think as the season progresses it will turn out good if we can stay healthy.
Go Buckeyes beat Xichigan team up north.

They didn't have many takeaways last year, and they got 3 today... I'd say that's reason for excitement
Come on man you're not allowed to share your opinion, maybe on another news channel but not CBS.

Yea it looks like if Madden tried to recreate a cbs scoreboard
Ohio State scored quite a few defensive touchdowns!

At least Akron isn’t fcs unlike Oregon struggling with the vandals who is fcs lol 😂
