A special goodbye to our senior QBs. Stevie Ryan was the presumptive starter, but in fall camp Cedric Marsh proved to jive better with our offensive identity. Despite that, Stevie never once gave up. He pushed all of us as best he could in practice and was 110% committed to our team's success. Cedric deserves his accolades for a program record-setting year, but we also want to congratulate Stevie for being the best teammate we could ask for.
