Howard captured 85% of the first place votes in balloting for the Heisman, the largest margin in the history of the trophy at that time.
Howard will be joined at the dais by head coach Jeff Quinn and a few of the key Bulls of 2010. Quinn, who has coached in BCS bowl championship games (Orange and Sugar Bowls) the past two seasons as the offensive coordinator at Cincinnati, will give fans an inside look on what the Bulls have in store when they take the field on September 2 at UB Stadium against Rhode Island.
