Hail Mary! QB's that love to air it out.....

One of the best deep passers of recent memory goes to Andrew Walters who was under center @ ASU a few years back. Walters did not get a ton of hype or media attention as he played on a sub-par team and most of the PAC-1o games started @ 10 EST. A few to watch going into this season include: Andre' Woodson, Sr., Kentucky who lead the SEC in passing yardage, Brian Brohm, Sr., Louisville who has developed into a solid pro-style QB and positioned himself to be one of the first QB's taken in next years NFL draft, and Juice Williams, So., Illinois. Juice has created quite a stir in central Illinois as he could be one of the most exciting players to watch on a fast rising team. Seven of his nine touchdown passes last year went for at least 31 yards. He became the first Illinois quarterback to throw two touchdown passes of more than 65 yards in one game when he tossed a 79-yarder and a 69-yarder against Syracuse. Williams' completions went an average distance of 14.5 yards. Of the players on this list, only Brohm had a higher average per completion.

The Appalachian Effect in N.C.A.A. Football

Remember when the Michigan Wolverines kicked off their football season last year with a loss to Appalachian State University ? Some people called it the biggest upset in college football history . Well, as Mike Huguenin notes at Rivals.com , it looks like the big-time schools are being a lot more careful this year in picking their supposedly patsy opponents. Appalachian, meanwhile, is hoping to start the ‘08 season even more outrageously than last year: against the defending national champs L.S.U . It should not be forgotten that Appalachian has won the past three national championships at its level.
