Stats can't be compared
You know you love college football when you watch two teams you never heard of face off in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs.
Last night, I caught part of Northern Iowa's overtime victory against Texas State. One of the commentators compared a quarterback's stats to those of Texas star and Heisman Trophy finalist Vince Young. The broadcaster seemed to suggest the I-AA QB outperformed Young.
At best, the comparison is interesting; however, it's apples-oranges. To be sure, Division I-AA is very competitive. But, Young faces tougher opposition. He'd probably break every record in I-AA.
