I'm probably wrong about this...

But I am convinced more than ever that college football is a QBs game.

And some of you may argue that I am simplying this way too much. But.

The QB position has been our problem.

And Kelly obviously wears that responsibility. I would love to see our offense with a guy like Andrew Luck, or Matt Barkely running it.

A guy mobile enough to move around, but with the skill set both of those guys have.

I'm pretty sure if we had one of those two QBs---discussions about our process, our university's comittment to winning--would all be tabled.

It's funny how this game works. At Iowa State, Gene Chizik is a losing coach with little or no thought of being a "great coach"----give him Cam Newton, and he wins the NC, and Auburn fans are building statues of both of them.
