I guess I must be crazy, but I still can't understand how Rick Neuheisel would start a true freshman at QB when he has a senior who has started a number of games in two different programs and has four years college experience.
I realize that Kevin Craft had a rough year in 2008, but the coach himself admitted that part of the problem was poor pass blocking by the Bruin line. If Kevin Craft is inferior to a true freshman, why have him on the team at all? If Neuheisel thought that Craft would not even be backup, why waste a scholarship on him this year?

Didn't Craft lead the Bruins to a W last Saturday? We've seen Kevin Craft. He may not be a John Elway, but he's not burnt toast, either. An absolute rookie to college football would have to be a one in a thousand talent to be a clear choice over a fifth year senior.
I guess Rick ended up agreeing with me.
As for the future, who knows.

Because the guy is good, miles better than Craft. I don't know that he's "miles better than Craft" (and I doubt you could offer the argument that he is given that you never bother with offering anything more than an opinion with nothing to back it up), but I do agree that starting the kid now and letting him take his lumps while he's learning is better than having him starting next year without any experience. =Bob |

I also thought Craft did very well. |

Clearly, the Bruins have a very good chance to win 7, even 8 games. In that case, you go with the players most likely to help you win now. AzWm |
