North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell took an interesting approach to film study at the end of his freshman year. "When our season ended, the first thing I did was make sure I was sent all the LSU games from last season," Howell said on April 8. "Joe Burrow did a really, really good job. He was so efficient. I watched every single one of his games three times." (Sporting News)
