There were personal highlights – 327 yards in an overtime loss at Texas – and plenty of missed opportunities. That led to the biggest highlight of Howard’s career to date, a 31-28 overtime win over TCU in the Big 12 title game, during which Howard threw two touchdown passes with no interceptions.Īn 8-4 record this season was a disappointment. He earned every opportunity and fluctuated in and out of the starting lineup before securing the full-time starting job midway through the 2022 season. Howard had a lot of ups and downs during his time in Manhattan.
