ESPN didn't masturbate to Flacco nearly as much as they have to Wentz
No, but that's not in question...

Flacco became a star. I meant being seen as a "star" while still playing FCS. I honestly don't recall Flacco being seen as that. McNair and Wentz got the hype while playing FCS. Maybe Adrien Peterson while at Georgia Southern or the App State QB (damn brain fart what was his name) after the Michigan game exposure. To be a "star" you kinda need some regular attention from National media.

I remember the NFL shows did. I remember in preseason on NFL Network some draft guys were talking about the 16 class and they mentioned how much scouts liked Wentz. But yeah the mainstream ESPN didn't hype him a whole lot.

The NFL already had Wentz on their radar. According to Coach K every NFL team had been to Fargo by the end of Aug last year.

I don't doubt El Cid keeps players on thinner ice than most public DI schools, but that really kinda takes the teeth out of the punishment.
It's my understanding that the injury to his finger occurred after he had already been suspended for a violation of team rules. That's just hearsay though.

I hear the 2nd team guys is pretty solid though. It goes without saying, I'm rooting for the Citadel to win the SoCon. Go Dogs!
