Much like plenty of other Buckeyes, Will Howard saved his best for his last game in Ohio Stadium this season.

After having his worst game as a Buckeye in the regular-season finale against Michigan, Howard followed that up with one of the best performances of his career in Ohio State's 42-17 thrashing of Tennessee in the first round of the College Football Playoff.

The fifth-year senior started hot, completing five of his first six passes, the latter four all completions for at least 18 yards each. He never threw multiple incompletions in a row on his way to completing 24 of 29 passes for 311 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
