Since I can't think about tomorrow's game anymore (without losing it on anyone within 10 feet of me), I am going to change the subject.
IF we win the title game, I can't honsestly imagine Sam staying for his junior season. After winning the Big XII, the Heisman and then the national title, there really wouldn't me much left for him to accomplish.
I suppose he could pull a Tebow and stick around, but I think that had more to do with what the Gators had coming back this year. With us losing a big chunk of the O-Line and Sam's favorite target (Joaquin), I really wouldn't blame him.
Also, with the whole rookie salary cap/contract issues in the NFL, it makes much more financial sense for him to go out while the gettin' is good.
I kinda feel like next year is going to be a "reloading" (not rebuilding) year for our offense anyway (I think the defense can't go anywhere but up). So, who would take over under center if Sam does leave? I can't say that I've really followed any of our QB's (except Halzle) since Nichol left. I learned yesterday (via ESPN) that we have another sophomore QB named Nimmo (which many of you already know), and that we've landed Drew Allen, but don't know much about him. And there's also Landry Jones. Again, I haven't followed any of our QB development.
