THE TAKE
The @Big12Conference going to produce some of the best QB play in the country in ‘26…pocket passers, dual threats, big time arms, good decision makers…the league has it all. After watching the tape, and talking to a bunch of the coaches today and more tomorrow, convinced that this will be as competitive of a year as we have seen in the conference.
