College GameDay analyst Desmond Howard puts Ohio State on upset alert against Indiana
Published:
Despite a huge 27.5-point line, ESPN College GameDay analyst Desmond Howard believes No. 3 Ohio State (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) needs to watch its back this afternoon when it hosts Indiana (4-1, 1-1) for its homecoming game in Columbus.
While appearing on SportsCenter this morning, Howard was asked which top team is “vulnerable” heading into Week 6’s games. Surprisingly, he went with the Buckeyes, who are coming off arguably college football’s most impressive victory of the 2018 season after their 27-26 comeback win at Penn State.
The Hoosiers are having a strong start to the season, winning four of their first five games for the first time since 2015. But asking for a win as a four-touchdown underdog is a tall order; especially against an opponent in which they haven’t beaten in the last 26 attempts.
Then again, this isn’t the first time Howard — who won a Heisman trophy at Michigan — has publicly went against Ohio State.
