Stanback Responding

Published 9:00 pm Friday, September 15, 2006

This seems to be a big statement game for Isaiah Stanback so far. He seems really intent on taking the game over. It could be a reaction to criticism he received after the Oklahoma game, with many people calling for Carl Bonnell to take the job over. I doubt Stanback would say that was a motivating factor, but I’d be pretty surprised if a competitor like Stanback isn’t approaching things like that…and there he goes for a touchdown. I was one who believed Stanback was the guy for the job even after last week, and he’s showing why. There isn’t a quarterback on the roster who can do what he’s doing right now (don’t worry, I know in another couple years, Jake Locker will be able to).
