  This is what Miami needs: John Beck

In the BYU-Boise State game, the BYU Cougars are giving the Broncos all they can handle. The Cougars quarterback has confidence in his passing game and is taking it to the Boise State defense deep.

It is the 3rd quarter and quarterback John Beck has completed 2 touchdown passes on consecutive drives to his wideouts deep. One the first drive, he tried on first down and the corner managed to keep up. But on 3rd down, he went to the same exact play and this time completed to his wide receiver Todd Watkins for the long score of 79 yards. This was followed up one drive later with another deep pass to Austin Collie for a 57 yard touchdown. Beck displays the confidence in the passing game that Brock Berlin is missing.

The Cougars have now taken the lead on a Boise State team which has won 14 in a row overall and is playing at home on their blue turf, where they have won 20 in a row. You have to give BYU credit if they can pull this one out. They have had an up and down season so far and this would be a big up for their program. If John Beck displays this confidence the rest of the season, maybe they will stay up the rest of the year.
