Brandon Weeden: The Best Is Yet To Come

BRANDON WEEDEN: THE BEST IS YET TO COME<br <br

Entering his second year as the starting quarterback of a high powered Oklahoma State attack, Brandon Weeden is no longer just a good comeback story of a 27-year-old baseball flameout who took the Big 12 by storm in 2010 by breaking six single-season school records.

The fair haired triggerman is setting his sights on the conference title and has taken it upon himself to join forces with new offensive coordinator Todd Monken in improving the offense by putting it in position to overtake the mighty Oklahoma Sooners, considered by many the best team in the nation.

Weeden’s decision to stay in school was a bit surprising to say the least given his successful year and advanced age. After reportedly receiving a third-round

Heisman Sleeper: WVU’s Geno Smith

It is hard to imagine that Geno Smith has ever felt the degree of pressure to perform than he has since West Virginia University announced it had lured away former Oklahoma State University offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen to join the Mountaineers in Morgantown. But that pressure may actually increase given that just last week, Holgorsen, amidst the fallout of Casinogate, was crowned new head coach for a program that could never find its identity in a post-Rich Rodriguez football culture under Bill Stewart.

No doubt that with Holgorsen at the helm of what is certain to become an Appalachian-tailored rendition of his Stillwater-bred Air Raid offense, Smith will gain the opportunity to do what only three quarterbacks in all of 2010 – including the Cowboys’ Brandon Weeden

Cincy’s Combo: Zach Collaros to D.J. Woods

When standout quarterback Tony Pike went down with an injury to his arm in the middle of the 2009 football season, it was red-shirt sophomore quarterback Zach Collaros who was asked to step in and take over the helm under center for the Bearcat offense. Brian Kelly, who was the head coach at the time, didn’t expect much from his backup quarterback from Steubenville High School in Ohio, and for good reason. After all, Collaros had red-shirted as a freshman in 2007 and attempted just four passes in the whole of 2008, serving as one of five total passers for Cincinnati that year. Collaros surprised, however, showing tremendous comfort and composure as a game manager in a 34-17 win for his team after Pike went down against the University of South Florida.
