Hmm...
"That's disrespectful
Prairie View supplied both the motivation and the opportunity for Austin Howard to light it up for a season-high 405 passing yards.
The Panthers committed their defense to stopping Southern’s rushing attack, coming out in zero coverage — essentially loading defenders up near the line of scrimmage and leaving their defensive backs alone in man coverage.
Howard took that as a slight.
“When defenses play zero, as a quarterback, that’s disrespectful,” Howard said. “That’s just saying you’re going to have to show what you’re about.
“I look at that pre-snap, I don’t want to run the ball into zero, that’s eight guys in the box and we only have five down linemen and maybe a tight end. Like I said, that’s disrespectful when teams go zero against you, daring you to throw the ball. We made things happen.”
