Lil' Newton Leads Howard to an Upset over UNLV in His First Start

[Dilla]

Caylin Newton, Cam's little brother, led the Howard Bison (in his first ever start as a true freshman) to a victory over the UNLV Rebels. By point spread (+45), it's the biggest upset in modern history.

I guess it runs in the family.

How was UNLV 45 point favorites over any team?

Holy poo Howard was a 715/1 dog on the moneyline bet.

So if you put $2 on Howard you won $1,500.

lolz somebody getting fired

January 2018--Hurney sheds his interim label

March 2018--Caylin Newton declares for the draft

April 2018--Panthers trade a future 2nd round pick to take him in the 3rd.  Plans are to convert him into a WR.

Thus it is written, thus it shall be.

Young Caylin's swag is off the charts.  Wish I could've seen it.  Have family that went to HU.

Because for once, Vegas got fooled by a former high school coach who does far better with PR than actual coaching.

That and they underestimated Caylin swag.

MEAC teams are generally considered pushovers at the FCS level, nevermind the FBS level (even considering how poor UNLV may be as a FBS program). Add to that Howard having only won 3 games the prior two seasons, and you get a 45 point underdog.

I know but still, UNLV is legit one of the worse teams in the country. Since 2001 they have only one season with a over .500 record. I think Liberty beating Baylor was a bigger upset
