Ohio State quarterback Will Howard grew up in Pennsylvania watching Big Ten football on television and Saturday he’ll finally get his first conference challenge when the third-ranked Buckeyes visit Michigan State. Howard expects the Buckeyes to face their toughest test of the season against the Spartans after scoring an average of 52.

“Man, I’m excited,” said Howard, who transferred to Ohio State earlier this year after four seasons at Kansas State. “It’s going to be a night game. It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be popping. I’m looking forward to it. I think it’s a cool opportunity. The nonconference games were fun, but we know it gets real.”
“We got some things to try and get them confused, get them out of gaps,” Howard said. “And I got all my faith in the O-line. And I think they’re up for the challenge. I know it’ll be probably the best front that we’ve seen so far. But we go against the best front in the country every single day, and that helps our offensive line, and it helps all of us to just be ready for anything.”
“There’s definitely not panic, at least in our building,” Smith said. “At the same time, there’s a sense of urgency. We want to be playing our best football at the end. We got to keep on improving. We had opportunity to win a game, but we also had opportunity to be sitting here at one and three. We’ve been able to finish on a field. The last game we didn’t.”Ohio State coach Ryan Day insists his players should not become too comfortable or overconfident despite their early season dominance.
