Will Howard's pick-6 had fans joking about his dreams to play for Penn State
While Ohio State got the last laugh against Penn State on Saturday, Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard got some friendly ribbing for throwing a pick-6 on his first pass against the Nittany Lions.
Penn State cornerback Zion Lacy took one to the house on a Howard interception, which was a point of surprising irony since the quarterback had dreamed of playing for the Nittany Lions growing up.
The irony of the pick-6 wasn’t lost on college football fans, as Howard technically got his wish to throw a touchdown for Penn State. It just so happened the touchdown came with Howard wearing an Ohio State uniform.
The Buckeyes got the win, 20-13, and Howard technically proved Penn State wrong in the end. However, the jokes were still pretty good.
Will Howard throwing touchdowns to Penn State. Just like he always dreamed.
