"It wasn't really tough," Howard said Tuesday. "I just knew I had to wait my turn. You have a great offense, a lot of great players, so everybody's going to get their chance to shine. I had my opportunity in the Ole Miss game and a lot of other players had their chances. I just had to wait in line and my chance came."
His first 2014 reception came in the Sept. 20 win over Florida. It went for a 12-yard gain on third-and-5 and nearly brought CBS announcer Verne Lundquist out of his skin.
"It felt good," Howard said. "I think it was the fourth game of the year, so it felt good to get that catch. The first one, once you look it in and catch it, it feels good. Everything else just feels great when you catch it."
"Keep feeding OJ."
