Why Prince?

| | Comments (0) |

Here's what Rick Neuheisel said initially on this morning's conference call in which he named freshman Kevin Prince his starting quarterback.
``We've decided Kevin Prince is going to be our starting quarterback,'' Neuheisel said. ``It's no secret he was getting the lion's share of the reps with the first team. I felt he had the requisite skills to be given that opportunity, and we wanted to see what he can do with it. While there were growing pains, I still believe he showed the necessary poise and understanding of what Norm (Chow) is trying to get taught, not only at the position but also managing the game. There's a huge upside for Kevin. We'll give him the chance to be our starting quarterback.''
