Quarterback battles in the Big 12
All 10 teams in the Big 12 head into spring practice with some type of quarterback question mark. For TCU, can Casey Pachall regain his confidence and find the form that allowed him to throw for 2,921 yards and 25 touchdowns in 2011? At Oklahoma State, three quarterbacks were forced to start last season. And all three are capable of winning games. Who does Mike Gundy turn to? If the Cowboys settle on a No. 1 quarterback, they could be the pick to win the Big 12. Landry Jones has exhausted his eligibility, which means Blake Bell steps into the full-time role. Kansas State must replace Collin Klein, West Virginia will likely turn to redshirt freshman Ford Childress (pictured) to replace Geno Smith, and Texas is turning the offense over to David Ash once again.
