Between The Numbers: Oregon QB Dennis Dixon

http://sportsner.com/2007/09/10/between-the-numbers-oregon-qb-dennis-dixon/

Sportsner's Between The Numbers series provides a snapshot of the intangibles and beyond-the-game actions of standout athletes. Saturday's performance by Dennis Dixon as he led Oregon to a stunning blowout in Michigan led me to take a deeper look at Dixon the person, scholar and athlete. He's more amazing than you've probably seen.
