Fritz: Keon Howard remains Tulane starter at QB for Southern Miss game
Keon Howard, a transfer from Southern Miss, will remain Tulane’s starting quarterback for Saturday’s game in Hattiesburg against the his former team, the Golden Eagles.
Green Wave head coach Willie Fritz made the announcement Tuesday at his scheduled media briefing.
Tulane squandered a 24-point halftime lead Saturday, losing to Navy 27-24 at Yulman Stadium. The senior Howard threw a costly interception just before the half, with Tulane leading 24-0 and having the ball on the Navy 19.
Howard was just 10-of-25 for 108 yards on the day.
Fritz said the best thing Tulane can do is “support” its quarterback.
Howard transferred to Tulane in the summer of 2018. He redshirted that fall and then backed up senior starter Justin McMillan last season.
In two games, Howard has completed 24 of 55 passes for 299 yards with no touchdowns and one interception.
