NC are monsters on offense. One of the highest scoring offenses and near the top for total yards.
ND totally shut this team down!

It was the OL that failed him. We got pressure. Without that, they could have put up 35 plusAmazing how pedestrian a so called great QB can look against a disciplined, talented defense.

DisagreeWithout pressure on the QB, most teams would score 35 on anyone.
There were some nice cover sacks however.
Heck, I think they had 14 points in the first ten minutes. 3 points in 50 minutes for one of the best offenses in the country.2nd half defensive turn around!
Clark Lea is worth 2x whatever he gets
Amazing how pedestrian a so called great QB can look against a disciplined, talented defense.
I'll be honest Clark Lea doesn't strike me as the personality that needs to have his own program right now.We'd better enjoy him while we have him. I can't imagine he won't start getting HC offers after this season.
True. Give a competent QB a clean pocket and the numbers will follow.Without pressure on the QB, most teams would score 35 on anyone.

I'd be shocked if he was. Not a skill set that transmits well to the next level. Reminds me of Chase Daniel both in stature and skill set. Stellar college QB who will end his college career with crazy numbers. Likely his NFL career will mirror Daniel's too. Good enough to stick but not play regularly.If he had a better offensive line, he’d look better. But all the talent is there to see. I’d be shocked if he’s not a top 5–top 10pick.
That Daniel comp is sillyI'd be shocked if he was. Not a skill set that transmits well to the next level. Reminds me of Chase Daniel both in stature and skill set.

Oh boy. People judging off one game. When is that going to stopThere’s no way Howell is a top 5 pick. He looked lost a lot of the game, missed some easy throws, and even on that early long completion he underthrew his receiver. The guy really didn’t look much better than Jurkovic against us. He’s a solid above average college QB with some high level weapons to utilize, but I think he got exposed tonight, even considering what he was up against.
Ya his one game against a good defense. He did not look impressive. NDs defense is great don’t get me wrong, but Clemson showed that an elite level QB paired with elite skill players on the outside can carve us up at times. Howell has elite skill guys at his disposal but failed to do much of anything, even after one of our best defensive players left. Just calling it like I see it.Oh boy. People judging off one game. When is that going to stop
Yeah you forgot to mention the fact that our DL whooped the NC OL. Its sad a lot of people really dont know football at all on this boardYa his one game against a good defense.

How so ? Same size and skill set. Daniel had one of the most prolific college careers in the last 20 years. Daniel also a better runner. 10 plus years in the NFL too. Maybe you're right as Howell has a ways to go to be as good as Daniel was in college. He's on his way though as he has much better talent around him than Daniel had at Missouri.That Daniel comp is silly
He's a very good player who struggled against a very good defense. No mystery.Oh boy. People judging off one game. When is that going to stop

Howells freshman year was better than any Daniel had in his 4 years. Howell has more skill and a much better arm. Daniel was a college qb. Howell is more than thatHow so ? Same size and skill set.

For someone who claims to have played, you say some of the dumber thingsSaid the man in the mirror.
You think if Fields, Lawrence, or DJ were at QB for UNC they would have scored 17 points? Those guys are top 10 draft picks. Howell is clearly below that level. I’m not saying he’s trash, but I see him as an NFL backup best case scenario.Yeah you forgot to mention the fact that our DL whooped the NC OL.

They are top 1 or 2 picks. Howell is a top 10 pick. Howells OL killed him in that game. Field and Lawrence are a year above Howell as well. Judging off 1 performance is not smartYou think if Fields, Lawrence, or DJ were at QB for UNC they would have scored 17 points? Those guys are top 10 draft picks. Howell is clearly below that level.
