Has a Freshman QB ever won the Big 12?

All-Conference
Crouch and Bradford were both Sophomores when they won it. Gonna be a tough road row to hoe.

No other freshmen QB has had the defense that TMart will have behind him. :throwdabones1:

 
I would like to see the defense give themselves a shut out... it would be a great boost going into Washington

None of the teams in the B12 this year are as good as some of the ones in years past. OU had quite a solid run as did UT with Young. NU had their years as well.

Nobody with a Freshman QB was going to beat those teams. I don't see a dominant(how about kudos for proper spelling/context!) team in the B12 this year that we can't beat.

Bradford won it as a RS Freshman, won it again as a RS Sophomore (played in NC game against Florida), and got hurt his junior year then went to the NFL.

 
Going back to the Big 8, Jamelle Holieway not only took OU to the conference but the national championship as well.

Anything is possible if you have a good defense to back you up. A solid run game will be helpful too.

IMHO, Martinez has an advantage over most redshirt freshman quarterbacks in that he is really fast, which will allow him to stay calmer and within in his element. He won't be asked to make as many plays with his arm.

 
Wouldn't surprise me to see us go with experience at qb a time or two this season. Also, I think we'll be more run-oriented against the better teams. Gotta put the kid in position to succeed and let him grow into the job some.
