It doesn’t take much for Michigan alum Desmond Howard to rile up Ohio State fans.
During a recent interview with Saturday tradition, Howard stated that he felt Bryce Young and not Ohio State QB CJ Stroud should be considered the early Heisman frontrunner.
“First I would like to say that I don’t think anybody should be the frontrunner except Bryce Young,” Howard said, via Saturday Tradition. “I don’t think anyone – even CJ Stroud – should be neck-and-neck right now. Just at the beginning, with no games played, for [Stroud] to be the favorite, I just don’t get it. Bryce Young should be the frontrunner and everyone else [behind].”
Of course, Ohio State fans took offense and blasted Howard over his Heisman opinion.

Desmond Howard knows damn well CJ Stroud is best QB in the country, he's just hating on Ohio State as usual #Buckeyes

Wow. So surprising that Desmond Howard doesn't understand how odds work and is saying something biased against an Ohio State player… https://t.co/dO51pWzSU0

Desmond Howard at the Heisman ceremony threw shots at CJ Stroud for losing to his alma mater…
The next game, CJ Stroud went 37-46 (80.4 cmp %), 573 yds, 12.5 avg, 6-1 TD-INT ratio and a passer rating of 223.8 and QBR of 98.3
Looks like he didn’t learn his lesson the 1st time https://t.co/vgOIMVXrj9
