Understand Rising would have had to ride the bench under Sam. But he is so impressive in the Utah games I have watched do not see how Thompson would have been rated higher. Probably the reason I am not a coach. Rising also a very good runner. Guess we will see how he does against Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Ex OU QBs doing okay, Mordecai and Morris, but Rising looks much more productive. Probably has a better supporting cast.
