Now, it’s Howard’s turn to take the ball from the get-go. The true sophomore will start Southern Miss’ season opener against Kentucky (3 p.m. Saturday at M.M. Roberts Stadium), according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation.
Howard edged teammate Kwadra Griggs in a battle that spanned the entire offseason. Howard, no stranger to competition, said he actually prefers it that way.
