Longo's Message To Howell Is Simple: Stay The Course

Posted Jan 2, 2021
How do you tell a quarterback who has essentially done it all to try and not do it all? That’s the message Phil Longo has imparted onto Sam Howell all week as North Carolina prepares to face Texas A&M in the Orange Bowl. Howell has passed for 6,993 yards in 24 games as UNC’s QB and is just four TD passes from becoming the school’s all-time leader. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
