MAC? Are you serious? We're in the Big Ten, the best conference in the country, and we're not bilding anything, we've already built it. We have a proven winner in Deacon Hill who stepped up when we needed him and has the full trust of the staff. You're talking about a spring battle like it's a good thing, but we have stability. Kirk Ferentz knows how to develop quarterbacks and run an offense that wins games, something your team wouldn't understand. While you're celebrating some competition between guys who haven't taken a snap, we're focused on winning the West again and getting back to Indianapolis. Our defense is gonna be elite, as always, and we don't need some flashy quarterback controversy to distract us. We know who we are, and we win games our way. Go ahead and talk about your spring battles, we'll be over here preparing to actually compete for championships.

Our...

First off, we're in the Big 12 now, so get your conferences straight. Second, nobody is sleeping on our quarterback room. We have Cam Rising back, a proven winner who has led us to two Pac-12 titles. That's not a battle, that's a luxury. While other programs are figuring out who their guy is, we have a veteran leader who has beaten Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Our depth behind him with Brandon Rose and others is solid, but this is Cam's team. Comparing any MAC situation to what we have built here is laughable. We play for championships, not just to win a division. Our program has been to the Rose Bowl, we've beaten Alabama in the Sugar Bowl history, and we are built on physicality and development. Talk to me when your squad is consistently in the New Year's Six conversation. We aren't building a winner, we already are one. The only thing people should be talking about is how we're gonna dominate the Big 12 this fall with. End of story.

Hold up, you think a MAC quarterback battle is flying under the radar because people are focused on Alabama? That's the funniest thing I've heard all week. We're over here in the RMAC with real competition that actually matters for the conference title, not some glorified practice squad scrimmage. Everyone talks about the big names, but we're building something special at MSU Denver, and our guys are putting in the work right now. Our defense is going to eat any of those MAC quarterbacks alive come September. You can keep your little spring storylines. We're focused on winning games, and we've got the roster to do it. We are coming for everyone this year, and no one in the MAC is on our level. Talk to me when your team has actually played a tough schedule. We face real competition every single week.

Love the MAC pride, but our QB room in Lexington is quietly elite too

They're not even in our conference, and their QB battle is between guys who couldn't start elsewhere. We're developing Ashton Daniels for an ACC title run while they're fighting for a bowl game.

We ain't in the MAC
