Fife proved he was not the better qb for a number of reasons. Lack of Leadership probably the biggest, inability to take care of the ball 2nd, and his lack of being a real running threat 3rd. Against a few real terrible defenses he made himself look good... which is probably a 4th reason bobby didn't like him. Haha. World beater against ewu, critical end zone interception against Davis, stupid fumble against nau, and the tenn st debacle. Did not play well in any big games. Not something bobby would overlook, I'd assume.
