HE IS ONE OF THE MOST PROLIFIC PASSERS IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNVERSITY OF HOUSTON
Statistically, the way we have been playing, I dont think there is any argument he is one of the better quarterbacks in the country.
NOW CASE KEENUM JOINS AN ELITE GROUP OF QUARTERBACKS FOR THE 2009 DAVEY OBRIEN AWARD, AWARDED TO THE BEST QB IN THE COUNTRY.
Does he deserve to be in that discussion- yes.
KEENUM JOINS TEXAS QUARTERBACK COLT MCCOY AND FLORIDA'S TIM TEBOW ON THE SHORT LIST OF FINALISTS
You know, it's really special to be mentioned in the same sentence as those guys, it's going to be an honor for me to be there.
He's my quarterback, i am supposed to talk good about him, but he is keeping it cool head like he is supposed to do.
There is really not much you can really do except keep putting up the numbers and hopefully the accolades come along with it.
When it comes to national awards and recognition, I view those as team awards. In order to recieve those type of accolades, those types of awards, you have to have numbers but they also come with winning.
And in order to win games, you have to win as a team.
THE HOUSTON COUGARS ARE HAVING THEIR BEST SEASON IN ALMOST 20 YEARS, WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY IN THE CONFERENCE USA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AND A BOWL ANNOUNCMENT LOOMING.
BUT FOOTBALL AND THE GAMES THAT REMAIN ARE THE SOLE FOCUS FOR THE NATURALLY HUMBLE KEENUM, WHO HAS CONSISTENTLY SHRUGGED OFF THE NATIONAL ATTENTION.
It's a weird deal, there is never really a good time to talk about stuff like that, and so it's hard to think about, I try not to think about it too much.
Like Coach said, we are focused on the job we have at hand right now, I will enjoy the moment when I am there and when I am in the moment.
THAT MOMENT WILL COME DECEMBER 10 WHEN THE DAVEY OBRIEN AWARD WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED LIVE ON ESPN.
