Thanks for the great article CW and I couldn't agree more with everything you said. You obviously know Sam better than almost all of us, but from the day he arrived on campus he's handled himself with as much class and humility as any Cyclone I remember. It's a tough ending for such a great start to his career, but his stats speak for themselves as an outstanding athlete and qb. Between o-coordinator changes and injuries to himself and players around him, things didn't work out the way they could have, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Sam has been a good qb and a great Cyclone throughout his career. Joel couldn't have a better mentor.
