It's interesting former Michigan quarterback Steven Threet is starting at Arizona State. He was an obvious mismatch for the Wolverines' spread option offense.
We'll see how he does this season. Arizona State does not figure to be a Pac 10 contender, but Threet didn't have to search long to land at a BCS school, and you'd think Dennis Erickson, Arizona State's coach, has a pretty grasp on the quarterback position, given his success as a college coach in the past, along with his extensive experience in the NFL.
And it's hardly forgotten that Arkansas' QB Ryan Mallet, who left not long after Rich Rodriguez arrived as head coach at Michigan, enters this season considered a potential Top 5 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
It does make you wonder, if Rodriguez is such as a great coach, why he couldn't adjust to the obvious talent around him - and win some games - the last two years.
It appears like he inherited a couple good quarterbacks from Lloyd Carr, but just didn't know what to do with them.
