This is one of the better pieces I've read about Boykin's journey. Very solid stuff.
For a while, most of the usual assumptions about quarterbacks with Boykin’s borderline profile held true: Though he made 15 starts in 2012 and ’13 in relief of the suspended and then injured Casey Pachall, Boykin also spent large swaths of those seasons “maximizing his versatility“ as a running back, wide receiver, and Wildcat QB.
A pretty honest, and sarcastic, assessment of the Big 12.
The mediocrity of the conference is partially masked by the fact that they have two playoff-capable teams in Baylor and TCU, one of which, thanks to their Big 12 schedules, will probably go undefeated this year.
