Way to keep up with the former Aggies. I knew Siddeeq when I was a student at NMSU. He was a heck of a player and a great student.
I also saw that Buck Pierce is doing pretty well with the BC Lions in the CFL. It looks like he splits time at QB with Darius Jackson, a former Notre Dame QB, but Buck's passing stats are very impressive. I think Buck was probably the best QB NMSU has ever had. Too bad he was hampered by injuries in a season that would have been his best (2002).
The Aggies could use a QB like Buck right now. A solid pocket passer who could also run the ball and was comfortable outside the pocket. I like Chase, but once that pocket collapses (which it often does), Chase will either get sacked or make a huge mistake.
