no Josh Fields, no Rashaun Woods. if anything, I think he just wasn't prepared for Fields to leave. if I'm not mistaken, that last yr OSU started Woods' younger bro at QB, and he was better suited to be a WR or DB. gotta adapt to your personnel as best as you see fit.

Again, it was Miles 4th (and last yr) at Okla St. He had time to find someone. He just doesnt seem to be able to recognize or judge the QB position effectively.

The starting QB at OSU in 2004 was eventually switched to the defensive side of the ball. WTF? That is all on Miles. He wants an athlete that he can use at QB, not a true throwing QB. IMHO

Saban was well into his tenure here and had some issues with QB recruiting. Mauck leaving caught him off guard in 04. stuff happens. maybe it shouldn't, but it does.

he also set the OSU freshman TD record as a QB. sounds like OSU made the best out of a bad QB situation, and the Woods kid made the best out of his abilities (he made it to the NFL on D).
