"That was strictly a weight limit thing," Howard said. "I don't know if it was like a poorly executed fat joke or what this guy was trying to do . No, I'm kidding. But I guess he said there was a weight limit and there's too many people on. Everyone's making up stories, but that's all it was."following the win. Ohio State's star safety tandem of Caleb Downs and Lathan Ransom had to take the same back route he did to climb aboard.
"I ended up going to the other side and jumping on," Howard said. "A bunch of us had to sneak on. Like, you didn't see it, but Caleb had to sneak on, and I think Lathan snuck on. So they were trying to be strict about it, but it is what it is, man. I guess they're doing their job." Should Ohio State beat Texas in the CFP semifinals at the Cotton Bowl this Friday, hopefully Howard will be let on the stage postgame without having to perform another quarterback sneak. The Buckeyes and Longhorns kick off at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.
