From the highlights all three of the quaterbacks look good. Hopefully other than those highlights the defense played solid, on the plays they showed we still had issues tackling.

Tate looks the most polished of the QBs, IMO... and Denard's shoelaces appear to be tied? They certainly are not dangling around...maybe he tapes them down or something...

faster than I had anticipated. I think we're gonna shock some teams/analysts with our speed. Not only that but the hands looked better. Again, I know these were "highlights", but a lot of the passes completed in them would not have been made last year. I agree 100% about Cox - a total beast. Tate's pump fake and bomb were a sight to behold. Oh, and on the weird throwing motion for Denard. All you need to do at the college level is have a mediocre throwing arm and killer speed to trick defenses. Lure them with the possibility of scramble and toss it over their heads to the wide open receiver/back. It worked for Meyer and Tebow at Florida, it can work for us. Good news for us is that the Big Ten is slower on defense than the SEC. Again, let me make sure that was read correctly..."on defense". The Big Ten is consistently on par with SEC offensive speed (i.e. remember Ted Ginn, wish I could forget Benn, and Pryor just ran an electronic-timed 4.38 40...now Denard is on the list, too.) All I care about is that we don't make it an obvious "Cooper'esque" two-QB rotation. Everyone knew Stan Jackson was more a runner than passer and Germaine the deep threat. If we do that with our QBs we'll be screwed.
