I would tout Eastern Washington QB Vernon Adams as the best college football player who is flying under the radar. Now, I know some fans caught glimpses of Adams' impressive highlight reel following the Eagles' upset of Oregon State in Week 1, but Adams is more than a one-game wonder. The redshirt sophomore has completed 65.3 percent of his passes for 1,035 yards with 12 touchdowns and three interceptions, and he also has 154 rushing yards on 30 attempts. Adams' emergence as one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in college football has helped Eastern Washington re-emerge as one of the top teams in the FCS. With a looming showdown with Sam Houston State, astute college football fans will quickly develop an appreciation for Adams' dynamic game.

Eastern Washington QB Vernon Adams. In the season-opening upset at Oregon State, he put on an absolute show, passing, running, and leading the Eagles, most notably on their game-winning touchdown march. If you haven't seen him play, I highly advise it. And, Kent State's all-purpose back, Dri Archer, is well worth your attention. His name bubbles up, but since the "Flashes" do not play in a power conference, there's a "yeah, but" aspect when his name comes up. There shouldn't be. He's legit.
The press keeps comin' in. :notworthy:

That will change when he's not playing against two D-II defenses and a down App State. :coffee:

While the media exposure is always nice, I get kind of uncomfortable with all the hype. Kaufman broke all kinds of FCS records last year, and you didn't see him with his own web page. It is what it is, I guess.

I'm kinda still thinking of a couple of drives in the Toledo game.

I see...so you playing a DII, and running your starter through the 2nd half is acceptable, but not for anyone else. Gotcha. :roll:

I'm going to throw in our RB, DJ Adams. The kid didn't even make any preseason conference teams yet I believe he currently sits 5th in the nation in rushing and 1st in the Big Sky.

He only played through towards the end of the 3d qtr. IIRC. I was a little puzzled by it, but he is just a Soph. so they probably figured he meeds the reps.

I'll add that Adams looked amazing against a very mediocre defesne in OSU, but not great against Toledo. Even though Adams has gotten more national attention than JJ, he was basically flawless against App and UND. I'd put them interchangably at 1 and 1a in the conference right now.
