By now, with less than two months to go before the next go around in the college football universe, we’ve heard time and time again about the so called “Three Amigos” or the media’s version of the greatest collection of college quarterbacks ever competing in the same season.
The three I’m talking about are Timothy Tebow, Sammy "Baugh" Bradford and the “Awe Shucks Kid from Tuscola,” Colt McCoy.
But barring the fact that one of those guys already has two national championships and is arguably the greatest quarterback in our generation.
The other two play against conference competition that is arguably the worst pass defenses in the history of Big XII football—there are a couple of other exciting to watch QB’s out there that not so many people have heard of.
Now I know what you are saying, “Did this guy really just knock the two golden boys of Big XII Football, Mr. and Mrs Red River Rivalry?”
Answer, yes...yes, I did.
I would really pay big money to see how those guys perform in the SEC, playing against Bama’s and LSU’s D on a weekly basis. I’m not knocking their talent, or the talent that they have around them. Texas and Oklahoma have awesome skills and are tremendous programs.
Colt and Sam have great skills and are natural competitors. So cool down for a second.
I’m knocking the fact that outside of the TCU game, neither team faced a defense in the 2008 regular season that could have resembled anything other than a lower tier SEC defense.
Granted, that’s not Colt’s or Sammy fault, so there’s no knock on them by me.
But anyway, I digress. The point of the article is about other Quarterbacks that might be flying under the national media radar and are exciting to watch.
Now if you are a college football junkie, these names aren’t going to surprise you. In fact, you’ll probably think that I’m an idiot who needs to have his head examined because you’ve been following this or that former five star recruit ever since he got to your favorite college program and what the hell am I talking about.
If that’s the case, then go and find some other piece to read and rant on. This is for the casual fan who might not know what player is taking over for former three year starter at Alabama or who lead their team to a real exciting loss in the 2008 Motor City Bowl.
Now, I’m gonna throw out a couple of names outside of the three amigos right off the bat only because they are getting national media attention.
These names off the top of my head are Jevan “Damn it’s great not to be a Longhorn” Snead, T Pryor, Zac Robinson, Juice Williams and Colin Kaepernick. All great players to watch, all exciting, but a little too well known for this piece of garbage you’re reading.
Robert Griffin III—Sophomore, Baylor
Playing in Head Coaches Art Briles offense has been incredibly good for Mr. Griffin.
