In this BCS-dominated universe, can there be a bigger curse in college football than to be known as a “mid-major” program? Yes, there is. Try living with the dreaded “all-purpose quarterback” tag. Talk about being stereotyped or pigeonholed unfairly. Overlooked, for sure, even in the Internet age.

If you’re not USC’s Matt Barkley, Louisiana Tech’s Colby Cameron, Kansas State’s Collin Klein or West Virginia’s Geno Smith, or don’t stand 6-foot-5, or don’t throw for six TDs every game, you must be – heaven forbid – a “running” quarterback. So, perception becomes reality to some. No NFL for you, buddy. Or so it sometimes seems.
