**Will Howard Takes Brutal Shot at Ohio State Critics: ‘Here’s What You’re Really Getting Wrong’**
Will Howard, quarterback for the Kansas State Wildcats, has had enough of the criticism surrounding his performance and his team’s standing. After months of negative chatter, the star signal-caller fired back with a no-holds-barred message to Ohio State and college football critics who’ve been questioning his skills and the Wildcats’ future.
In a pointed statement on social media, Howard called out the narrative that has been building around Kansas State’s perceived inability to compete at the highest level, particularly in comparison to juggernauts like Ohio State. Critics have relentlessly belittled Howard’s impact, often diminishing the Wildcats’ progress as mere flashes of brilliance rather than recognizing a consistent upward trajectory. “People are too quick to talk without knowing the full picture,” Howard wrote, “and I’m tired of hearing the same recycled takes from those who have no idea what it takes to play at this level.”
Howard’s message was not just for those questioning Kansas State’s talent, but also for the critics who have placed Ohio State on a pedestal, almost as if the Buckeyes are the only program deserving of respect. The rise of Ohio State in recent years has been undeniable, with its consistent top-tier performances and recruiting classes, but Howard made it clear that other teams, including Kansas State, are more than capable of achieving the same level of success—if not surpassing it.
The quarterback didn’t mince words. He pointed to his own development, the team’s progression under coach Chris Klieman, and the hard work that goes into every victory. “The same people who talk down on us will be the first to jump on the bandwagon when we do something big,” Howard continued. “But that’s fine. We’ve always played with a chip on our shoulder.”
Howard’s fiery words seem to have struck a chord, sparking debates among fans of both Kansas State and Ohio State. Is Kansas State ready to compete with the Big Ten powerhouses, or will the Wildcats remain in the shadows of football royalty? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Will Howard isn’t backing down from the challenge.
