Jarrett Brown ready to take over at WVU

While many WVU fans are hyperventilating at the idea of not having Pat White at quarterback this fall, I'm one of the few who think the Mountaineers can actually excel under Jarrett Brown. He's not the running threat that White was, but Brown is a tough runner. And Brown is a much better thrower than White. It believe Jarrett has a chance to lead WVU to a Big East title.

Brown will become just the third first-year senior starting quarterback in the last 25 years. The other two are Kevin White in 1984 and Greg Jones in 1990. White led the Mountaineers to an 8-4 mark and a win in the Bluebonnet Bowl after sitting behind Oliver Luck and Jeff Hostetler.

Jones, who transferred to WVU from Miami, was a two-year back-up to Major Harris. Jones one year at the helm was difficult as the Mountaineers were in a rebuilding mode and finished 4-7.

Which path will Brown follow? I think he'll do even better than White -- Kevin, probably not Pat.
