EA must have visited opposite land when they did the QB's for Oregon. They have Cody Kempt (QB #12) at #1; he was the scrub of the bunch and transferred to Montana State a couple days ago. Either true freshmen Darron Thomas or Chris Harper (QB #9) is at #2; they both are very promising but neither has taken a college snap. Nate Costa (QB #7), the projected starter for 2008, played as a true frosh in '06, runs the spread system the best, would have started for Dixon last year if he hadn't tore his ACL in practice as a redshirt, is at #3 with the weakest stats?!? The depth chart for UO as of 6/6/08 is:
1. Nate Costa #7 (Rso)
2. Justin Roper #11 (Rso)
3. Chris Harper #3 (Fr)
4. Jeremiah Masoli (JC so)
5. Darron Thomas #1 (Fr)
6. Cade Cooper #2 (Jr)

EA has it as:
1. Cody Kempt #12 (Rso) -left team and transferred to Montana St.
2. Harper or Thomas #9 (Fr) -that would be sweet, but 3rd string likely
3. Nate Costa #7 (Rso) -1st stringer 3rd with Pop Warner stats?

The QB position for the Oregon ducks has been on the national radar since 2000 from Harrington to Dixon, so this ain't no homer secret. The ducks have 5 QB's (Cooper isn't on scholarship and most likely will transfer) who all have a realistic shot at starter or back-up. Costa has the skills and early PT for the spread, Roper has played great and lit it up in the Sun Bowl, Harper and Thomas are Dixon clones with pure potential, and Masoli was the top rated JC QB who won a JUCO National Championship.
I guess I'm going to create the frosh QB not in the game and Masoli, pump up Costa's stats to starter stats, and change Cody Kempt to Justin Roper because both are Redshirt sophomores.
