Ohio State Player Fires Back At Desmond Howard Over Heisman Ceremony Comments

Desmond Howard faced heat after he mentioned Ohio State’s shaky offensive line while chatting with Michigan defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson during the Heisman Trophy ceremony.

And although he has since apologized for the “fun, good natured ribbing,” some still took issue with the remark.

Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett stood in between Hutchinson and Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud during the Heisman ceremony, which Tim Tebow jokingly thanked him for being in the middle of the rivals. Then, Howard took a shot at the Buckeyes, saying “better than his offensive linemen.”

“He can kick rocks,” Ohio State offensive lineman Thayer Munford said Thursday, per 247 Sports.
