The list of Ohio State quarterbacks to start in and win a National Championship in the 21st century includes the following players: Craig Krenzel, Cardale Jones and now Will Howard.
During the stretch between Krenzel's triumph in the BCS era and Howard delivering the Buckeyes the first College Football Playoff title under a 12-team format, seven of the top-10 passing touchdown leaders in Buckeye football history emerged. Six of the program's single-season leaders in passing yards delivered eight of the 10 best performances in that category since the last time OSU won a first edition of the CFP.
