[Husker] Zac Taylor

[Bapi Gupta]

Maybe I'm just ignorant, but can someone explain to me why JUCO transfer 
QB Zac Taylor is considered a challenger for the starting position at QB 
next fall?

I'm looking at his stats in what appears to be the NJCAA National 
Championship Game on 11/28/2004, a game his team lost 10-35:

PASSING: Wildcats-Jimmy Oliver 23-40-1-297. Grizzlies-Zac Taylor
10-35-5-104 (with one TD).

He seems to have padded his stats in a few blowouts (59-0, 62-10, 65-2, 
67-6), but from what I can tell, he seems to have shared the QB duties and 
had a QB rating somewhat lower than the other guy's:

PASSING              GP   Effic Att-Cmp-Int   Pct  Yds  TD Lng Avg/G

Zac Taylor            9  137.33  178-96-7    53.9 1384  14  49 153.8
Elbert Mack          10  178.43  166-111-7   66.9 1782  15  90 178.2

Let me stress that I'm not trying to be critical, but I am confused by the 
numbers.  What is making Taylor appear to a strong major college prospect?
