Matt Leinart from SCum-West. Making it their second QB winner in three years. You can bet Slick Pete and Co. will waste no time selling that to recruits.

What do we need to do to recruit and develop that kind of talent? We need to get away from only playing the field position game.

I'm sure it's Chow that will be able to sell that....


EDIT: Anyways, thank god that White, Peterson or Bush did not win.

That removed the chance of White being a double, and helps remove the chance of Bush or Peterson as repeaters.

Well, most everyone here thought we had that when we got Zwick. :roll1:

USC has had a better OL the last few years which gave both Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart time to throw. As for playing the field position game, have you been watching us this year? We had a pretty open offense only to have Zwick struggle and Smith take time to get adjusted. By season's end, we were four yards short of putting up 48 points on Michigan. We should never recruit to be pretty or to copy what others do.

I would rather that we recruit and develop talent that will win team awards such as National Championships.

It is safe to say that White won't win two.

Congrats to Leinart. He had a great year worthy of the award.

umm...USC is doing that as well. I don't think they're necessarily mutually exclusive.

I agree completely. They've been competing for national championships the last few years while also developing Heisman winning QB's. That's not a coincidence.

How so? Dorsey was the QB on the 2001 national championship team that was attempting to repeat in 2002. We stopped him from being a 2-time national champ, but he had already accomplished a lot.
