A veteran quarterback from the Atlantic Coast Conference coming off a losing season in which he threw more interceptions than touchdowns and failed to complete 60 percent of his passes decides to transfer to one of the better Sun Belt Conference programs of the past decade.
That could describe Arkansas State's James Blackman. It would also apply to Appalachian State's Chase Brice.
It's where the similarities, though.
While Blackman has struggled to get off the ground in Jonesboro, first being benched in Week 2 before returning and injuring his shoulder, Brice has quickly returned the Mountaineers to the top of the Sun Belt's East Division.
