Pike is the real deal

Mike Freeman from CBS is a Tony Pike fan.  Why not, the kid had a good season last year and this year seems to be stepping it up a ton.  Mike thinks that Pike may be becoming one of the premiere college quarterbacks this year.  Here are some quotes from the article:

"Pike put on a show. No, show isn't the word. Pike took Greg Schiano's defense and did things to it that violated state decency laws."

"He's a better pure passer and more NFL ready than Tim Tebow. He's got a stronger arm than Colt McCoy.
He's got the smarts of Jevan Snead and unlike Sam Bradford has two perfectly healthy shoulders.    
Some NFL scouts believe he's one of the fastest risers in all of college football and by the end of the season might be a first-round pick. "


And in response to someone wondering what would happen if the Bearcats opened up their offense a little bit:

"Saying they opened it up is like saying Jose Canseco took a little bit of steroids. Pike didn't just open up a can on Rutgers he might've opened up a door for an entire conference.
A door to respectability."

Congrats to the Bearcats for a big conference win on the road to open the season.
