Pac-12 Media Day: Jon Embree Names Top 3 Quarterbacks Heading Into 2012 Season

The 2012 Pac-12 Media Day is underway and the Colorado Buffaloes have already shared a good deal of insight about how the roster might shake out heading into next season. Head coach Jon Embree spoke with the media, discussing a variety of topics and narrowing the quarterback competition down to three underclassmen:

We have three kids we know for sure involved in the competition. Thought Connor Wood had a good spring. Wood, Jordan Webb and Nick Hirschman are the main three competing. Have to wait and see on Shane Dillon.

With graduating senior QB Tyler Hansen now on the Cincinnati Bengals roster as an undrafted free agent, the Buffaloes are looking for the next quarterback to take his place and fill in for his 5705 career passing yards.
