Good list.

Near the end of the season, I predict J.W. Walsh will be among the top 3 dual threat quarterbacks in the country.
Although he has split playing time the past two seasons, his numbers consistently point to a top dual threat performer. Last year, he had the second best Loss Avoidance Factor in the country (behind Lynch). His numbers in 2012 were equally good (with better passing stats).
As the unquestioned #1 this season for OSU, they will leverage his running ability in a way that they couldn't with Chelf.

(Also, keep an eye on Bowling Green's Matt Johnson. I know you had him in your Pocket list, but he's a very effective runner.)

Once again thanks for starting these Topics! :clap2:

Started a Taysom Hill Topic a while back; surprised it did not get more replies! He makes BYU's Offense really fun to watch...at 6'-2" 220 he's built like a Running Back(almost like Luke Staley). He has worked on his pocket passing...he should be climbing up NFL Draft Charts.

Bryan Bennett is worth the price of admission..he's FCS's Version of Johnny Manziel last year...he has his eyes on the NFL!

Trevor Knight obliterated Alabama's Defense in the Sugar Bowl last year w 348 yards passing...and he showed great mobility extending plays with his feet.

Yes indeed Riddlewire...JW Walsh will be climbing up that list!

Florida's Jeff Driskell 6'-4" 230 is my sleeper...he got hurt last year & played on a horrible offense...this season they will switch their attack(of course) to no-huddle spread. In 2012 he rushed for 177 yards/3 TD's vs. Vanderbilt including a long of 70 yards; he has some wheels!

Maryland's CJ Brown rushed for 576 yards...

heh i actually clicked on the link to talk about him. When the coach said they were getting a quarterback trasferring from Oregon i thought it would be a black quarterback, i hadn't been keeping up with Oregon. Man this guy is awesome, he is getting lots of NFL interest too, is 6'2 to 6'3 200 something.

Riddlewire - Walsh played pretty well last night. He was as good if not a little better than the crab stealing/sexual predator negro Winston.

Pretty good week for white dual threat QBs:
Taysom Hill runs and throws all over the longhorns
Jake Waters leads his team back from a double digit deficit to pull out a victory
Jeff Driksel played well in his first action of the season - hopefully he stays healthy and puts together a big year
