UNC Football: Sam Howell had a record-setting day against Georgia Tech

I’m not saying UNC’s victory yesterday over Georgia Tech ever felt in serious jeopardy, because it was evident from about the opening snap that the Heels were just going to be physically too much for the Yellow Jackets, an advantage that bore itself out as the game went on. But it did start pretty inauspiciously for quarterback Sam Howell, as he had a couple of gorgeous deep balls dropped that would have buried the Jackets early. The young quarterback also threw what was easily the worst interception of his young career, a ball into double coverage to a receiver who was never open.
