Howell Hauls In More Awards

Sam Howell continues to haul in numerous accolades this week for his outstanding play on the football field. Already named ACC Quarterback of the Week, Howell earned a spot on the Davey O'Brien Award's Great 8 list for the second week in a row and was named a Manning Award "Star of the Week" after his historic performance in last Saturday night's 59-39 win over Virginia.

The Indian Trail, N.C, signal caller accumulated 419 total yards of offense with 307 passing yards and a career-high 112 rushing yards. Howell moved past Russell Wilson and into sixth place in ACC history with 77 career touchdown passes and is now just two shy of moving into the top five.
