. . . someone still has to step up to play quarterback.
For eight years (this is Leach's ninth as head coach) college football quarterback statistics have been skewed by the video game numbers put up by whoever was playing for Mike Leach at Tech. Some thought it didn't matter who the quarterback was, that it was Leach's unusual alignments (those wide splits on the O-line and five wide receivers every play) and play calling that were responsible.
Well, for 2009 the system hasn't worked as in the past. It looks as if no Tech quarterback will throw for 5000 yards this season or 4000 and maybe not have one reach the 3000-yard plateau.
It just may be that Symon, Cumbie, Hodges and Harrell were better than any of the current crop of sand aggie quarterbacks.
