North Carolina, Miami bring QB star power into Saturday

Posted Dec 10, 2020
UNC quarterback Sam Howell has completed almost 69% of his passes, putting him just a fraction of a percentage away from Chris Kupec’s single-season Tar Heels mark of 69.3% that has stood for 46 years. And his 64 touchdown passes — in two years — is four shy of matching the North Carolina career mark. “I’m excited for the matchup,” Howell said. (Associated Press)
