With Howard at QB, WVU Offense a Strong Buy in '16 - WVU Athletics
I know... I know... Jedd is just a WVU homer...
Interesting points from Jedd...
Howard has passed for 3,974 yards and 34 touchdowns with just 14 interceptions in his first 17 college appearances, or 859 yards more than Harris passed for in his first two seasons encompassing 24 games (all starts), 902 yards more than Smith passed for in his first two seasons encompassing 18 games, and 1,157 yards more than Bulger passed for in his first two years, which comprised 18 games as well.
Howard’s 34 touchdown passes were nine more than Smith threw during the same span, 13 more than Sherwood threw during the same point in his career and 17 more than Bulger tossed during the same time period.
“After those three phases you are going to see tremendous growth at that position,” Drenning admitted. “Not only did you have the maturation process with Skyler, but you also had Dana as a play caller learning and understanding how best to utilize Skyler’s skill set. That’s why the 2007 Pat White was far more lethal than the 2006 Pat White, or the 2008 Pat White playing in a brand new system, because he had two full years in Rich’s (Rodriguez) offense.”
