Chew on this

Here's the subhead on Pete's column in today's college football preview, in The News-Sentinel:

Brady Quinn knows how to take criticism and run with it – long before Charlie Weis came on the scene, his mom was toughening up her future Heisman contender of a son.

Pete mentions a bit about the hype surrounding Quinn:

Of course, by the time the season ends, Quinn might actually be the Heisman Trophy winner. The hype already is in overdrive, and that includes the dreaded Sports Illustrated cover curse (see its college preview issue). It’s enough to make a coach worry about bloated egos, fractured concentration and ruined team chemistry.

Not this coach. Weis has that covered.
