Give me a BREAK - Chris Leak best frosh in the country - PLEASE!!!

Chris Leak may have come on strong in recent weeks, but this is yet another case of the media falling in love with a guy. Chris was the #1 recruit out of high school last year and was sought after by all the big programs. But he only got the starting job after the 5th games of the year. Is he doing well recently - YES. Is he the #1 true freshman in the country and Reggie Ball not in the top 5? - I don't think so.

Let's compare numbers:

Leak...119/198 (60.1%).....8 int's.....1594 yards.....10 TD's......177.1 yards/game.......team is 6-3.....strength schedule=9 (Sag)
Ball.....113/222 (50.9%).....6 int's.....1374 yards......7 TD's.......171.8 yards/game.......team is 5-3.....strength schedule=7

Now I know stat's are for suckers, but let's not pretend their results are that dramatically different. Ball is the man every bit as much as Leak.
