Texas A&M’s Cashius Howell Records Three Straight Sacks to Halt Utah State Drive

Texas A&M staff research identifies the feat as the first three-play sack run since Jack Cichy did it in the 2015 Holiday Bowl.

Overview

  • Howell sacked Utah State quarterback Bryson Barnes on three consecutive snaps in the second quarter for No. 19 Texas A&M, ending the possession with a punt.
  • Utah State started at its 25, and the losses of 6, 7, and 8 yards set up fourth-and-31 before the punt.
  • Each sack came with Howell beating left tackle Jake Eichorn off the edge to reach Barnes.
  • The sequence was verified by Texas A&M communications as the first of its kind since 2015, when Wisconsin’s Jack Cichy did it against USC.
  • Howell, a fifth-year senior with 15.5 career sacks entering the game, reflected that he was in a zone, while coach Mike Elko said he had never seen anything like it.
