While the former Wolverine certainly has personal reasons for mocking Ohio State's schedule, he's far from the only college football pundit who's called out the Buckeyes' early slate. Former OSU head coach Urban Meyer, who still has strong ties to the program, made a similar remark before the season began.

Ohio State football didn’t have a difficult first month of the season, and Desmond Howard isn’t letting people forget that.

With the non-conference schedule in the books, Ohio State will begin Big Ten play this week against Michigan State. It will mark the Buckeyes’ first game against a Power Four opponent, which led to some jokes from Desmond Howard on Friday.
