In case you were wondering, this is how I voted in this week’s poll:
- Andrew Luck – Stanford QB – Sure the lowly Duke Blue Devils picked him off but Luck was still quite impressive in throwing for 290 yards and two touchdowns. By the way, the pick came off of a deflection so you can’t put the entire onus on him.
- Kellen Moore – Boise State QB – The Broncos were off so he stays right where he was from last week. I do expect him to put up huge numbers this weekend against an inept Toledo team.
- Landry Jones – Oklahoma QB – The Sooners were off so no movement here either.
