Howard just straight up beat UNLV as a 45-POINT UNDERDOG ... in comparison, Stanford was a 41-point dog in that famous upset of USC in 2007

UNREAL ... QB of Howard was Caylin Newton of Atlanta (Ga.) Grady High. And again, he is Cam's little brother. https://t.co/AKh3Bc3rz7

Howard rushed for over 300 yards and four touchdowns in the game, while UNLV rushed for 344 yards and three scores.
