You may not realize it but the game Howard played was outstanding. The toughest part of the game for quarterbacks who love throwing deep is the requirement to march down the field time after time. Taking check downs is equivalent to driving 60 MPH on the interstate. Plenty of big time, professional quarterbacks have gotten antsy when forced to take the check down because they want to throw deep and then thrown an interception. Howard didn’t do that Saturday. He stayed within the defense and took the open throws. It worked as BYU eventually had to bring the defense up and then Howard could hit Shelton Gibson deep.
