08:15 AM ET 02.10 | Coming out of Signing Day, congratulations are in order for Steve Sarkisian, thanks to his quarterback haul. Florida State secured a commitment from Jameis Winston, but he could end up on the baseball diamond. Notre Dame has Gunner Kiel, the top dropback passer in the country. And Purdue signed three quarterbacks that add serious intrigue to the 2013 competition for the starting job. But it was [Sarkisian] and Washington that landed the best crop of signal-callers, getting the signatures of Cyler Miles and Jeff Lindquist. Miles remained with the Huskies instead of flipping to USC after earning co-MVP honors at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. ... [Lindquist], meanwhile, had a strong showing at the Semper Fidelis Bowl.

The best defense is a strong offense!

Miles diss coach Kiffin, very interesting.

A bad odor could be offensive enough to keep everyone beyond arm's length.

So, what happens to the guys who don't win the competition to start? A Marve-lous meandering existence? Why not sign with a school who'll have to start you at some point (e.g. current starter's last year w. full-time clipboard holder at backup)?

Whichever of these guys that loses the QB competition gets moved to the D. That's just how Sark rolls, motivates them bigtime!

Was wondering about the same thing.
Multiple QBs, especially in the same class, would seem to insure some level of competition, and also unrest and eventual transfers.

Not really. Although we are not far from dropping some weight at that position. He might have been able to challenge for the QB job next year.

Yes! thats why the SEC has won 6 nat'l championships in a row cuz of the offense..wait..thats not right.

We need a playoff system to decide who has the best recruiting class each year. The time has come.
Gentlemen, start your computers.

At least in the PAC it is. Then again, they only worry about conference titles and Rose Bowls out there, not National Championships!

Defense? We don't need no STINKING defense!

So true. Its at the point that if a recruit doesn't get the starting position, he'll bolt in a year or 2.

UTx learned by having 4 transfer in a 4 year period.

What are you going to do if you (USC) already has 4 QBs on your roster???

Sign'em, then send'em to JUCO ball for "seasoning". Then when a couple of your other QBs either get hurt, transfer, or don't pan out, bring'em back.

Simple. It's on page 27 of your SEC Cheater's Handbook and Catfish Noodling Handbook.

Ooops, that's "SEC Cheater's Handbook and Catfish Noodling Guide". My apologies.

Don't feel to bad, you beat the SB champs twice this year and things are looking up. Might be getting the "other" Manning...if he gets back healthy that is!

The newest version has a small addendum on how to tee bag your opponent while he's asleep.
