UNC freshman quarterback Sam Howell's 245 yards, two touchdowns, and quiet confidence led the way in the Tar Heels' 24-20 win over South Carolina on Saturday. “Sam’s a baller. No matter what situation he’s in, he’s got control,” receiver Beau Corrales said. “He’s not an extremely 'rah-rah' type of guy, but the confidence he has, you can feel that.” (Daily Tar Heel)
