Mack Brown Discusses Pitt, Adjusting the Routine, and Sam Howell for (Eventual) Heisman?

Posted Nov 11, 2019
Mack Brown: "Sam Howell is much like Colt McCoy because of his accuracy. If we give Sam time, he’s really an accurate thrower. I used to watch Colt throw for hours and the ball never hit the ground and that’s’ what we’ve got to do. We’ve got to be more consistent at wide receiver because Sam is going to put it there and they’ve got to catch it." (Heels Maven)
