The two quarterbacks who have thrived under the Bronco/Anae offense only have one syllable in their first and last names (John Beck and Max Hall). The only multisyllabic named quarterbacks to have any significant amount of PT for a Bronco Mendenhall-led Cougar team were Jason Beck and Riley Nelson. Jason Beck was excellent in his one-game relief effort against Utah State, a team later to be led by Riley Nelson. The Riley Nelson experiment, not so much. Perhaps one can play well for Bronco with a multisyllabic first name, but it requires no more than one for the last name.
I think all Cougar fans are with me in hoping that Jake Heaps continues the success trend for monosyllabic named quarterbacks. By the end of the season I won't be a bit surprised to see some of the more dastardly Ute fans in an attempt to to jinx Jake begin a campaign to call him Jacob.
