Howell made the most of his kicking debut on Saturday afternoon, connecting on a 40-yard field goal in overtime to secure a 16-13 Battling Bishop victory over Ohio Northern University in Rocky Mount. In a day of firsts, the field goal was the first of Howell's career, while the win marks the first time in the nine-year history of N.C. Wesleyan football that the Bishops have won their opener.

But a breakdown in the machine doesn't just ripple nearby -- it crashes the system. In this way, sports parallels life -- and life on offense revolves around the men in the trenches.
