Despite having a successful tenure at Kansas State, the opportunity to accomplish even more at a program with much higher standards while competing in a tougher conference is going to be one tall task for Howard, assuming he wins the starting job. Ohio State hasn’t won a national title since 2015 and there’s no more Jim Harbaugh at Michigan either. The clock is ticking for a natty in Columbus.
