ATLANTA -- Sports make for strange bedfellows -- or in this case, roommates, as Ohio State quarterback Will Howard and his Notre Dame counterpart Riley Leonard discovered. The pair roomed at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, La., last summer and will be leading their respective teams in the College Football Playoff national championship game on Monday. They talked at the camp about their transfers -- Howard from Kansas State and Leonard from Duke -- without projecting too far into the future. "We probably wouldn't have imagined that a couple of months later, here we are playing for the national championship for two new schools," Howard said.
