In this episode of Downs 2 Business, brothers Josh and Caleb Downs welcome former Ohio State quarterback Will Howard for a wide-open conversation about execution and leadership at the highest level. After a quick intro, the guys recap Texas vs. Ohio State and the turning points that defined it—how tempo, leverage, and situational awareness flipped key drives—and then hand the mic to Will for his inside read on the Buckeyes’ win: timing with receivers, protection checks, and what “owning the down” really means for a QB.

From there, Will weighs in on the Steelers/Aaron Rodgers talk—what veteran mastery looks like from a quarterback’s eye, how defenses try to muddy those pictures, and why routine and composure matter when the game speeds up. The brothers wrap with their CFB Update and Josh’s Colts vs. Dolphins preview, connecting prep to performance for the week ahead.
