The season opened with Sam Howell getting player of the game after throwing for 200 some yards and multiple touchdown, while leading UNC to a win. It’s pretty fitting for the season to end the exact same way.
While this one wasn’t as nerve-wracking of a finish as that South Carolina game, it was also even more impressive than that one. Howell torched Temple for 294 yards on 25-34 passing attempts and three touchdowns as the Tar Heels won the Military Bowl 55-13.
It wasn’t just that either, Howell did a little bit of everything on the day.
