Billings Gazette had a small article on the first Griz scrimmage. They only mention one QB and he is a freshman. Where is their big stud? Lex had 47 yards in 7 carries and really no mention of the passing game. Whats going on?

Read the Missoulian on-line for a more comprehensive article. They had reporter Fritz Neighbor on site. The Gazette just pulls it off the wire and truncates.

That frosh QB is our big stud, so far. In the 1st srimmage he outplayed the transfer from Bowling Green.

The Bowling Green player (Jason Washington) was stuck behind a 1st team all-league quarterback at Bolwing Green that was the same year (Soph last year). The all-league guy threw for 4,000 yards last year, so Washington was expecting very little if any playing time for his entire career at Bowling Green. Washington's 2004 stats were:

2004: Played in eight games ... 39 yards passing while completing 3-of-7 attempts ... has also rushed for 42 yards and a TD, including a 24-yard TD run versus Temple.

Prior To BGSU:A transfer from Long Beach City College ... threw for 1,790 yards and 11 TDs ... also rushed for 350 yards and had a quarterback rating of 107.3 for Long Beach.

High School: A 2001 graduate of St. Mary's College High School ... threw for 1,200 yards and 11 TDs as a senior ... also earned All-League Honorable Mention ... earned two letters in baseball

I heard from one of the Griz players that the Bowling Green kid is a let down. Transfers don't always pan out. I am happy, because I hate the Griz!

With you on that one Mike

! That is the thing about drop downs though, you never really know what you're getting. I have high hopes for our new wideout from WSU, but until we get a chance to see him in practice and then games we'll never know. Early word is that he's fast, now can he run routes and catch balls?
