Eleven Warriors

I think Vandenberg is in for a rude awakening.  He lost some good wideouts and linemen, and they lost Coker, so there goes their run game.  You can't be an effective play action passer without a top shelf run game, and they have no one who can dependably tote the rock for 4.0+ YPC average that you'll need to be effective in that offense.  I look for opposing defenses to pin back their ears and go after him from the edge.  He'll produce big numbers, but I don't see him being nearly as efficient.

Big time homer vote, guys.  Braxton is going to be the product of those around him.  Unless the receivers take a GIGANTIC leap forward, there is no way Braxton is going to come off as the best QB next year.  Devier Posey played in 3 games and had 12 catches.  Devin Smith, Corey Brown, and Jake Stoneburner played all year and had 14 each.  Now with Stoneburner's status in question, Hall's injury, and the fact that the star of the spring game was a freshman, I have a hard time placing my bet on him as THE BEST.

I think Denard will outshine everyone, unfortunately.  Lots of Denard haters here, of course, but the guy is going to get his yards and TDs.

If the question was "who will be the best athlete in the B1G next year" then I would've voted Denard. But the question asked best quarterback...in that case i'm going with Braxton.

did wisconsin end up getting the kid from maryland? i never saw. plus, is he eligible for post- grad classes and thus can play right away? if so, he's your guy. again, i have no idea if he even went to wisconsin.....so big ifs there.

if not, whoever steps in for kirk cousins wil be solid. dantonio seems to know how to take 2 star recruits at the sexy positions and develop them into all- conference studs.

braxton will have 6 good games, 3 "meh" games, and 3 "at least we don't have to play in the little caesar's bowl this year" games. i don't care if you're stephen hawking- learning 2 brand new complex offenses in consecutive years is pretty difficult.
