Howell, a native of Indian Trail, N.C., set UNC freshman records for completions (33), attempts (51) and yards (376). His four touchdown passes tied a record set by Darian Durant in 2001 in the 38-22 victory on the road this past Saturday at Georgia Tech.

His 376 yards passing were the 14th most in a single game at Carolina and the most by a Tar Heel since Mitch Trubisky went for 439 yards against Florida State in 2016.

The 51 pass attempts are the third most in program history, while Howell's 33 completions are tied for fourth all-time in a single game.

Howell leads the ACC with 15 touchdowns and 1,544 passing yards.

The Davey O'Brien QB of the week will be announced on Tuesday at 3 p.m. ET, while the Manning Award Quarterback of the Week will be named on Thursday at noon ET.
