http://www.yardbarker.com/content/player/26972 Recent articles about Rudy Carpenter en-us 1. Matthew Stafford (Georgia)* Round Projection: Early 1st He appears to be the top QB prospect in this draft. He has a strong arm and usually makes good decisions with the football. I think he can be a team's franchise QB if they decide that he's worth using big money on. 2. Tim Tebow (Florida)* Round Projection: 1st-3rd Tebow could realistically still end up anywhere in this draft. I think he has a great arm, although past QB failures in Meyer's system (A. Smith) will hurt his chances. 3. Curtis Painter (Purdue) Round Projection: 1st-3rd He's very talented and many people expect him to break out this season. If he does he could move all the way into round one. 4. Cullen Harper (Clemson) Round Projection: 3rd-5th While everyone's attention is on Clemson's running backs, Harper is quietly making a case to play in the NFL. 5. Dan LeFevour (Central Michigan) Round Projection: 3rd-5th The Central Michigan product may elect to return to school but he is very talented. Playing against lesser competition will hurt his stock though. 6. Chase Daniel (Missouri) Round Projection: 3rd-4th Daniel is all over the map in NFL mock drafts. He's very accurate but his arm strength isn't the best in the world. Playing on national TV at Missouri this year will either help his stop considerably or knock him deep into this draft. 7. Hunter Cantwell (Louisville) Round Projection: 3rd-5th Here's the guy I keep hearing about. Cantrell has played in Brian Brohm's shadow for years and I hear he has a heck of an arm. He will see what he can really do now that Brohm is no longer a Cardinal. 8. Rudy Carpenter (Arizona State) Round Projection: 5th-7th He knows how to win, as evident by his fabulous career at ASU. Last year he completed an incredible 61.8% of his passes and threw 25 touchdowns compared to 10 INTs, showing that he makes great decisions with the ball. 9. Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) Round Projection: 5th-7th Very very strong arm and showed how great he is during his Freshman year. He can make a lot of NFL throws and is very accurate. If he can do that in his first year, imagine what he can do once he gets some experience. 10. Graham Harrell (Texas Tech) Round Projection: 5th-7th Most Texas Tech quarterbacks do not play well in the NFL. None of them last very long in the league. I keep hearing that Harrell will be different, maybe he will be.

Two years ago it was the California game, and this year it was defeating the Dennis Dixon-less Oregon Ducks. He'll be gone soon enough because now he's losing the recruiting battle in Arizona to the resurgent ASU Sun Devils and Dennis Erickson. So, because he's getting his tail whipped, he decided to play the academic card. "Each school has to recruit to their school and what kind of requirements they (have)," Stoops said. "Arizona State has turned into a JC, and we're a four-year college. According to all the players, they say it's easier to go to school there, easier to get in." Stoops laughed. "I thought we all had the same requirements." Unfortunately for Stoops, according to the BCS statistics, NCAA academic indicators for athletes in school - the Academic Progress Rate - show Arizona football with a score of 883, well below the 925 standard. Arizona State is at 926. If any schools can claim the academic card, its UCLA, Cal, and Stanford. That's it.

The most intriguing play of the game came when an assistant coach from Texas touched a live ball after an errant Rudy Carpenter pass. Mack Brown continues to deny the fact that the ball was actually touched, while video evidence makes it hard to tell, either way the play changed the game and allowed ASU to get their first TD.
