Watching the Colts-Jaguars game, I couldn't help but noticing...Leftwich is injured (a Marshall grad) and his backup played at ECU. That makes two CUSA qb's on the same team. How many ex-Big-XII qb's are currently playing in the NFL? The one that I can think of lines up at WR for Jacksonville.

I think I saw a stat recently that CUSA has more alumni as starting NFL QBs than any other league.

Leftwich, Losman...there are like 6 or 7 total I think.

here is a funny chris simms story

i saw him outside the penthouse club in NYC a few years back - he was arguing with the bouncers

they would not let him b/c he was in jeans and that did not fit the dress code

The wide receiver/QB at Jacksonville that I know of is Matt Jones who was SEC not Big XII.

Koy Detmer(CU/Philly)

Am I right that Simms is the only one in that group?

Byron Leftwich (Jacksonville) - starter
David Gerrard (Jacksonville) - fill-in starter
Chad Pennington (NYJets) - starter when his arm doesn't fall off
PJ/JP Losman (Bills) - sometime starter
Patrick Ramsey (Redskins) - should be starting
Shaun King - is he still in the league?

That's all I can think of at the moment. What other CUSA-ers are out there?

You forgot Brett Favre- Southern Miss ( The Golden Eagles might have been an independent back when he was playing)

Oops -- he's started a few games, hasn't he?

Josh McCown

Gus Ferotte (sp) played at Tulsa

Oh, also, Daunte Culpepper, UCF.

I thought about McCown, but technically he's a SHSU graduate, or wherever he went, but yeah, could have been a CUSA school alum, close enough.
