"I have aspirations beyond football," Todd Reesing said. "I want to travel internationally and get my master’s in business. I’m enjoying being a college quarterback, but I’m pretty sure professional football is not really in the future."

I note they actually lost to last second field goal, oh well.

Like I said, you really can’t ever love your chances against a Leavitt-coached team, but that game was evenly matched and the first team to make a mistake was the one that lost, which was fair. That Grothe kid playing for USF is a heck of a QB.

What I didn't understand

In the first half USF sat back in a zone and Reesing picking him apart. In the third quarter they went after him and there was a considerable amount of success defensively. They got the lead then went back to the zone allowing KU to put up 2 more TDs on them.

Fatigue I Suppose

They were going in full bore on every play because the Jayhawks had so much trouble getting the running game going…the line looked worn out, but they picked up a bit near the end.

KC Star Also Had An Article On Reesing Today

The kid knows his limitations in football. I think he’ll end up doing very well for himself in life, wherever he chooses to go. Kind of a nice story.

Surprising

Or maybe refreshing is the accurate word. Even though I’m an MU guy, Reesing sounds like a good kid.

Most Of Them Are Good Kids

Personally, I kind of took a liking to Pig Brown last year.

They kept comparing Reesing to

Fran Tarkenton. Yes Reeesing is small, but before he gives up on the NFL, and explores other avenues of life he should give it a shot. I would take Reesing over Croyle.
