With a penchant for football, NBA star LeBron James never misses a game of a team based in his hometown, Cleveland. But seeing the Cleveland-based Ohio State Buckeyes game against the Oregon Ducks left the basketball legend devastated as he expressed on his social media.
This Saturday night was quite thrilling for college football fans with a tough Big 10 matchup. When the Buckeyes lost the game for one point, despite having an early lead in the game, the Los Angeles Lakers star was quick to react. Thanks to Disney for creating Inside Out, as James resonated with one character in particular on Saturday night: Anger.
Just like the other Buckeyes fans, James was utterly frustrated, and he expressed it by sharing a GIF on social media of “Anger” from Inside Out having his head literally blown out in frustration. Even though the animated GIF could be said exaggerated, the reaction was absolutely reasonable especially since Ohio State was the favorite to win the game.
The Ducks took the lead in the final two minutes of the game by scoring a field goal inside and improving to a 32-31. Unfortunately for Ohio State, that became the final score of the game as Will Howard inadvertently let the clock run out after sliding too late with a rushing attempt.
Will Howard upset with Buckeyes’ loss to Oregon
The Lakers’ superstar and fans weren’t the only ones frustrated by the devastating marginal loss. Quarterback Howard looked evidently upset while walking off the field, given that he thought the team would score the victory with his last-minute rushing attempt. However, as time went up, he didn’t have any other option but to face the defeat.
The incident seemed to escalate when a photographer, stationed on the sidelines, got too close to him as he was walking away from the field. Howard was spotted pointing his finger at him and saying something in his direction.
Individually, the Saturday night game was remarkable for Will Howard as he completed 28 out of his 35 passes for 326 yards and two touchdowns. Despite his best efforts, he couldn’t lead the Buckeyes to an undefeated record of 6-0 and suffered the first loss of the season.
