College Football 2024: The Surprising Favorite Poised to Dominate the Most Unpredictable Heisman Race Yet
Nobody knows how similar the Howard of Columbus will be to the Howard of Manhattan. At K-State, Howard captained a gap-running offense that featured him heavily on the ground. (His 61 designed carries went for an excellent 6.9-yard average.)
But Howard did not have an elite receiving group, and flinging the ball around the yard was not the primary tactic of coach Chris Klieman and coordinator Collin Klein. Howard’s open-target percentage (72.5) was much lower than any other QB getting serious Heisman consideration this fall. Relatedly, his 5.26% pickable-pass rate was the worst of the pack.Â
