Quarterback play has been an i sue for the team, as Ash went in and out of the lineup last season due to injuries or concu sions. He threw for 760 yards and seven touchdowns in three games early last season but mi sed all but one game of the Big 12 slate. He might not be Bridgewater, but it's a good sign for the Longhorns' offense that the reports coming out of camp are positive.Strong also named sophomore Tyrone Swoopes as the "clear No. 2" behind Ash this week."I don't know when he's going to play," Strong said. "It's going to depend on the flow of the game and how we're playing offensively Marcus Camby Jersey and how well David is playing."Here are nine other things you need to know from Friday:Ohio State fans, as a whole, can't po sibly find any humor in star quarterback Braxton Miller's .

The real question is not whether Davis starts, but how many carries he'll get against the Aggies.First-year Vanderbilt head coach Derek Mason has named his starting quarterback and pulled the trigger on sophomore Patton Robinette.
