All that was missing was the Maize and Blue

Where was Scott Dreisbach? The Redskins and Bears played a game last night that started with two SEC QB's (Rexy is from Florida and Campbell went to Auburn) but may as well have ended with "Hail to the victors valiant." By the time Rex and Campbell were taken of the field with knee injures it was time for the Michigan boys to play. Todd Collins and Brian Griese were teammates in Ann Arbor at one time, but they faced off on the field in the battle of the back ups last night in DC.

Obviously Greise (pictured left) was the one with bragging rights for the wolverines. He was the one who won half a national title there in '97, but Collins (right) got the better of the match up lasts night. Not only did Collins guide his team to a 24-16 win in the battle of who can still pretend to have playoff hopes, but he had the better statistical night. Collins was 15 out of 20 for 224 yards with two TDs and no picks. Greise was 27 for 45, gaining 295 yards and a TD but throwing two picks. Lloyd and Bo would be proud, maybe not as proud as they are of the next guy in the UM QB tree, but proud.

Here's the list (Let's play "one of these things is not like the others):


Elvis Grbac: '89-'92
Todd Collins: '93-'94
Scott Dreisbach: '95
Brian Griese: '96-'97*
Tom Brady: '98-'99**
Drew Henson: '00***
John Navarre: '01-'03
Chad Henne: '04-'07****


*- Won National Title, Dad is Famous
**-Won 3 1/2 Superbowls, Bangs Hot Chicks
***- Played Pro Baseball...Kind of
****-Never Beet Ohio State, should be shot.
