I agree.  It gives me hope but I until see him on the field, who knows.  Seeing Hogan play yesterday has given me more hope than I have had since the beginning of the season.

I would basically agree with you on this, Yvonne.  Recruiting info seems to focus on the measurables of a QB, while successful QBs all seem to have a handle on the intangibles, as well.  All the more reason to have a stable situation at the position so Burns can come in and the coaches can work with him and  he can, essentially, understudy whoever holds the spot (hopefully, if he builds on this performance, Hogan, who still has three years of eligibility left).  All those examples of highly rated Cal QBs reinforce that point.

If we end up getting Burns and Keller Chryst in a year, there probably will be a pretty good controversy over which one of them should get the nod (hopefully to replace a very successful Kevin Hogan). Dallas Lloyd may have his fans, too.

But we'll worry about that when the time comes, and at any rate it will be a good kind of problem to have.
