Looks like Heaps was named the Starter after all

From an Air Force football blog:



" Been talking to people who have witnessed the Jake Heaps show. And they’re impressed. Heaps, of course, is the freshman-to-be quarterback at Brigham Young. He’s the Cougars best quarterback prospect since Steve Young. You may have heard there’s a battle to succeed “Mad” Max Hall as BYU’s quarterback. I’m hearing Heaps has the job locked up, and it’s not even close. Heaps will visit Falcon Stadium Sept. 11 in Air Force’s most interesting game of the season... "

Hmm... Calling him the best QB prospect since Steve Young is an odd comparison. Steve Young wasn't exactly a very good QB prospect when he landed at BYU--he began life as 7th string QB behind luminaries such as Gym Kimball, Mark Haugo, Eric Krzmarzick, and Mike Jones.



I say this guy is talking out of his shorts.

I love Mingjai's master of the history of BYU QBs! :) I take full credit for Jake being officially named the starter in this AF blog by the way. I've been campaigning hard for a few months and things are really coming together now. :P

Great Find! Talk about material for a BYU Football trivia question!
