Dixon or Leaf?

[Autzen Powers]

Dixon seemed pretty cold yesterday (righfully so), but it also seemed that Brady had a certain confidence on the field. I like both QB's - both have different styles..but, do you think we'll see Dixon and Leaf splitting time down the middle next game? Is this position still up for grabs?

Leaf all the way, he had impresive stats, and led them to a victory in OT

just got done watching the Bellotti hour, and he said Dixon is the starter, but that he likes the competition at that position and that he sees a "Fife/Clemens" situation going in. Sounds like we'll see them share time.

While Brady Leaf threw the game winning TD, Dixon only had one pick in a game where the weather was a big part of the picture. Sure I thought Dixon could have done alot better, however I think you got to rotate em' until one of them clearly emerges as the starter, right ?? Anybody agree ? GO DUCKS ALL THE WAY TO 10-1!!!!Fiesta here we come!!(hopefully).

I think if the choice was up to me I would start Dixon. He didn't have that great of a game against Cal but it seemed like confidence was the issue. He is very athletic and showed that he can potentially hurt you in a lot of ways. I think Dixon should start, but at halftime if he isn't getting the job done, you know Leaf can step in and get the job done.

Rotating quarterbacks is always tough becuase it's like telling your offense you don't have a leader. It never works out great (Ohio State, Tennessee) but until you have identified your leader, I think you have to do it.

That depends on who your quarterbacks are. Michigan did well with Brady and Henson. I do agree though on the rotation, that it is telling your offense there is no leader. I say start Dixon and have a short chain. If he does well great hes athletic and very quick. If he does poor Leaf has a good arm and good confidence.
