Nate Long-Shot? ... While Jeff Tedford continues to stress that incumbent Nate Longshore is his quarterback, a pec injury that curtailed his spring hasn't helped in his fight to hold off Kevin Riley. Riley moves better than Longshore and was flawless in his last game, a comeback win over Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl. Don't buy Tedford's smokescreen. Riley is closing the gap on Longshore all the time and might be ready to surpass him in August.
Hip Replacement ... When likely starting RB James Montgomery suddenly left the program in March, it created a quandary for the Bears, who also lost Justin Forsett to graduation. The program's top back, Jahvid Best, would be the no-brainer successor if he wasn't recovering from a serious hip injury. Best has pulled a surprise of his own, taking part in non-contact drills, when he wasn't expected back until the summer. Sophomore Tracy Slocum picked up some of the slack in April, running hard and earning a spot in the backfield rotation.
Anger Management ... One of the defense's best weapons this fall will be the booming leg of redshirt freshman P Bryan Anger, who takes over for Andrew Larson. Anger put on an aerial show throughout March and April, regularly hammering out punts of more than 50 yards, while hanging the ball in the air for an eternity.

I don't really remember Tedford saying explicitly that Longshore was his man. I'm pretty sure I recall him saying that QB position was wide open for competition.
Tedford stubbornly stuck with Longshore all last season for no good reason.
You need your head examined if you believe the Tedford will play Riley over Longshore.
The players had a let down because they thought Tedford was letting them down by putting Longshore's hurt act on the field every Saturday.
I think we need to support longshore more. He was a good quarterback until he got that ankle injury. He has tons of experience and can have a good year this year if he manages to stay healthy.
