Chris Fowler facing criticism over comment made about Ohio State's Miyan Williams
Chris Fowler faced criticism from fans watching the ESPN broadcast of the Peach Bowl when he described Ohio State’s Miyan Williams as adding a “few extra biscuits.”
Williams is listed at 5-foot-9 and 225 pounds, has discussed his weight throughout his career, and Fowler raised the issue once more. Williams has had a solid season for the Buckeyes, with 783 yards in 2022, and is fifth nationally in yards per carry (6.7) among running backs with 60 or more attempts.
Williams also helped the Buckeyes take the lead with a punishing touchdown in the second quarter.
Many fans didn’t appreciate Fowler’s comment, and here’s a sampling of the criticism:
