Oregon State's junior quarterback enters his second season behind center bigger, stronger and more polished. He has asserted himself as one of the team's leaders, leading a large group of Beavers through voluntary player-led drills over the summer.
One thing that hasn't changed is the steely confidence that has been a hallmark ever since he graduated early from Santa Monica High in California to arrive at spring practice in 2008.
He says this season he's seeing things quicker and making faster decisions.
