Ohio State's players might want a pair of Gold Pants more than they want oxygen this week.
That includes Buckeye quarterback Will Howard. Even after transferring in from Kansas State, he grew to appreciate the rivalry in short order, understanding how deep it runs and seeing the countdown clocks all around the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. He's desperate to beat Michigan, not as much for himself as for those around him.
"I’ve only been here a year, so I only know what I know, but what I do know is that I love my brothers and that they came back and they wanted this," Howard said.
