Edwards has played his entire
career in the role of "Mr. Intangible," as the only numbers that seem to
support his generous talent as a quarterback can be found in the
win-loss column. Edwards threw just 14 touchdown passes in Montana's
national championship season, one more than the number of wins the
Grizzlies had with him in the lineup. He threw for 300 yards just once
(vs. I-A Idaho), ran for 100 once (in the national semifinals against
Northern Iowa), and rarely displayed the flash of Griz predecessors Dave
Dickenson, Brian Ah Yat, or Drew Miller. An amazing penchant for good
decision-making is where Edwards has the market cornered, however. The
Billings native didn't throw a single interception after Oct. 20, a span
of eight games (all wins) and 187 passes. The most underrated
quarterback in I-AA? Maybe the most underrated quarterback in college
football.
-Tony Moss
Weber State head coach Jerry Graybeal on Edwards, "He's a winner. He
obviously has full command of what they do and how they win games, and
runs their offense extremely well. I think when people think of Montana
they always think of throwing the ball like the old days, but they were
probably the most balanced running/passing team in our conference [last
year]. He's a winner, if there's a game on the line in a critical
situation he makes plays. He beat us two years in a row, get him in
critical situations late in the game, third and seven, third and eight
and he makes a play and breaks you down. He's real, real solid."
