Doug Dougherty’s College Notebook in The Roanoke (Va.) Times lists one of many position battles we’re monitoring as Kickoff 2005 approaches.
Bridgewater (Va) Eagles Head Coach Mike Clark will have to choose a new quarterback to replace graduated Brandon Wakefield. Will he choose senior Jacob Lewis or sophomore Jeff Highhill? Both are pictured in the tremendous picture (Lewis at left, Highill at right) courtesy of Eagles’ fansite Bridgewaterfootball.com.
Either way Clark is confident the Eagles have enough returning pieces on offense. “We’re in a position where the quarterback doesn’t have to be a magic man,†he told the Times.
Bridgewater isn’t the only team with a key position battle taking place in training camp. Each of the other 226 teams will have similar subplots unfold on their quiet, hot campuses.
And D3football.com will bring you the story from each and every one in our upcoming Season Preview. Stay tuned for more information on this exciting product shortly.

While the page isn’t pretty enough for me, it does have all the functionality. We’ll do a bigger splash later when it’s all belled and whistled.
Is that really a “tremendous” picture, Gordon?
Oh, it’s stupendous. Fantastic. Extraordinary.
Pat,
I’ll be putting in my order for the kickoff special tomorrow morning!
Looking forwarding to reading it!
I just assumed he meant my Eagles fansite was tremendous, not my picture 🙂
