Can Will Howard's real-world skills overcome his digital defeat against the Indiana Hoosiers this weekend?

And it’s a big loss for Bucks star quarterback Will Howard, as he was likely caught off guard, or maybe not, but nobody could have anticipated his digital twin being blasted away by a cannon. In this era of gaming, where individuals devote themselves to turning their fantasies into reality in the digital realm, college football video games hold a special significance in the hearts of fans. The fact that Howard’s character is being pummeled by his rivals is a perfect representation of the escalating obsession with virtual gaming. Now that Will has suffered a digital defeat, let’s see how he copes with his sadness.

So, November 21 is the day when Will Howard meets his mini version, resulting in pure chaos. Can he truly just let this cannon-induced setback in the CFB video game go without acknowledging his feelings? Nope, that’s not the case, as Will takes to his Instagram story to share a witty response on getting toasted in the game, saying, “Damn Rip.” Will’s response was dripping with sarcasm, something no one could top, and Howard handled it with a lot of thoughtfulness.

But unlike digital battles, Will Howard has to face the real-life pass rush. After coming off an electrifying win against the Northwestern Wildcats, the Bucks are now standing at a 9-1 record and are going to face the undefeated Indiana Hoosiers. Unlike their other opponents, the Hoosiers are ranked and pose a high chance of making it into the championships.

With the Oregon Ducks remaining the only undefeated team apart from the Hoosiers, this game is going to be the deciding factor in the Big 10 standings. Even though the game is going to be tough knowing Indiana’s track record, Will Howard is assertive that they stand a chance against them. Is it delusional, or is there actually a chance of this happening?

What’s your perspective on:

Can Will Howard's real-world skills overcome his digital defeat against the Indiana Hoosiers this weekend?

Have an interesting take?

Though Will Howard is getting hit hard in the digital sphere, his real-world performance is drawing plenty of attention. During the Bucks’ last game against the Wildcats, Howard concluded the game by completing 15 out of 24 passes and 247 passing yards with two touchdowns. Even though there is still no buzz around Will’s Heisman Odds, the young quarterback is slowly making his presence noticed in the game by securing a conference-high 24 passing touchdowns. Which is more than enough to pose a threat against the Indiana Hoosiers.

Even while talking about their game against Indiana, Will Howard said, “We’ve seen it from both sides. From what not to do and what to do. We learned from the Oregon game going into the Penn State game on how to finish a game.” Well, it looks like losing against the Ducks gave them a new perspective on the game. Now that the team is going to go up against Indiana this weekend, let’s see if their defense can hold their offense under 250 yards or not!
