Bob Stoops won a NC at Oklahoma using a JC QB.  KSU became a national power
and relied on them throughout the Bill Snyder era, and OJ Simpson was 
also a JC player.  Regardless of what might have happened in his later 
life, he was the most exciting college player of his era, I recall seeing 
him running roughshod over the Cats in Dyche.
