“I didn’t choose Howard because of what it had been in football. I chose the brand, I chose this place, I chose the history,” head coach Larry Scott told WUSA9 about ending his third season on a high note.

He highlighted the importance of this opportunity and playing on a national stage.

“The historical perspective with that is every season takes on a life of its own…” he told The Hilltop. “The opportunity to go win a Black national championship — that’s the blessing. Now, all we have to do is prepare well and walk in the blessing.”
