Baylor’s matchup with FCS foe Long Island University last Saturday didn’t move the needle much during a packed slate of games, but it did have one unintended impact: putting the spotlight on LIU QB Chris Howell.
A clip of Howell, the Sharks’ freshman QB, using a very unorthodox throwing motion in the game has gone viral since Saturday’s 30–7 Baylor win. The left-hander uses a sweeping sidearm motion to throw his passes, but did produce some highlights in the process, including a 35-yard throw perfectly placed for receiver Aviyon Smith-Mack that has since set the internet ablaze.
