Virginia Tech's defense aiming not to be awed by UNC's Sam Howell

Posted Aug 25, 2021
Virginia Tech linebackers coach Jack Tyler said UNC quarterback Sam Howell is going to make some throws that leave the Hokies' defense in awe. The awe can’t linger. "The guy’s going to make plays. If he does, go to the next one. It’s letting them know that may happen. There’s going to be an awe moment where you’re like, ‘This guy’s pretty good.’” (Richmond Times-Dispatch)
