Immaculate Possession: Cashius Howell sacks Utah State quarterback on 3 consecutive plays

Texas A&M defensive end Cashius Howell just forced a Utah State 3 and out by himself with not 1, not 2, but 3 consecutive sacks of Aggies QB Bryson Barnes. Keep in mind, a lot of defensive linemen don’t get 3 sacks across an entire season.
I’m not sure we’ve ever seen this before. Call it an Immaculate Possession:
The senior defensive lineman is doing wonders for his draft stock so far Saturday.
Those sacks were the first, second and third sacks of the season for Howell, who is already nearing his sack total for all of last season with the Aggies, which was 4. The Bowling Green transfer arrived in College Station ahead of last season after totaling 11.5 sacks for the Falcons across 3 seasons.
The Aggies are absolutely rolling Utah State after a bit of a sluggish start to Week 2. Utah State kept things close to start the afternoon, sitting at 10-6 late in the first quarter following a botched 2-point conversion, but the Aggies have since scored 2 touchdowns on the ground: One by Marcel Reed and another by Le’Veon Moss.
As we near the halftime break, the A&M Aggies lead the State Aggies, 24-6.
