Sam Howell presents tough challenge for South Carolina defense

Posted Dec 29, 2021
South Carolina fans remember Sam Howell, albeit not very fondly, and will get one more chance to play him in what likely will be Howell’s final game at UNC. The Gamecocks will be bookends for Howell, who made his first college start against South Carolina, and will present a big challenge for a Gamecock defense missing its most recognizable edge rusher.
