last year. They had Winston and that was it. You think Oregon would have been fine if Mariota had gone down?

Clemson's backup to Watson, Cole Stoudt (who was the starter to begin the season), couldn't see anything but opposing shirts to throw the ball to by season's end. Good thing Watson gutted through a partial ACL tear to beat Carolina, cause the first thing Stoudt did when he came in to relieve an ailing Watson was toss a pick.


Those are all offensive powerhouse schools. If anybody should be able to stockpile QB's, it's them. But they haven't been able to. Talented QB's want to play and they don't stick around anymore. We had backups to Taysom. Several transferred. It's just the way it is now.
