The Ohio State football team is the top-ranked team in the country, and for good reason. They haven't been truly threatened in a game since the opener against Texas. No team has scored in double-digits against them yet, and they still haven't allowed a red zone touchdown.
Right now, the Ohio State Buckeyes are undefeated. They look like a better version of the team that won the national championship a season ago. Yet, that doesn't mean that everyone thinks they will continue that undefeated streak. Enter Michigan troll Desmond Howard.
Howard has a longstanding reputation as a hater of the Buckeyes since joining College GameDay. He can't leave his bias at the doorstep when he talks on that panel and needles the Buckeyes every chance he gets. Now, he claims that Ohio State will not finish the year undefeated.
Desmond Howard claims Ohio State won't go undefeated while praising Julian Sayin
While on GameDay, Howard said that he doesn't believe there will be an undefeated team this year. That means he thinks Ohio State will catch a loss somewhere. He claims they "haven't played anybody", despite the season-opening win against Texas when the Longhorns were ranked first.
He then went on to praise Julian Sayin, claiming that he was the best quarterback in the country right now. It's a strange juxtaposition to use. The Bucks look like the best team in the country because of how well Sayin has played as a first-year starter. He still hasn't played his best yet, either.
Howard must believe that the Buckeyes lose again to TTUN, which would not be a surprising take from him. As much as I would love to tell him he's wrong, I can't really do that after what's happened in the last four years. This Ohio State football team does look different than all of those ones, though.
Time will tell if Howard's prediction ends up being wrong or if he falls flat on his face.
