BIGGEST UPSET OF ALL TIME?
Howard (+45) leads UNLV in 4th Q

(Yes, 550/1 underdog at 5dimes)— RJ Bell (@RJinVegas) September 3, 2017
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 held a three-point lead in the fourth quarter when a 34-yard reception to UNLV's Drew Tejchman resulted in a fumble and turnover to the opposition with about two minutes remaining.
