As of about 5:30 PM last night, that news wasn't posted on any of the sites I looked at. As of 10:00 AM this morning it was on the Bills Chris Brown blog.
I'm not sure how to take the skewed pass attempts yesterday. Either A. The coaches REALLY want Holcomb to be the guy, or B. Losman has proven that he can throw, and the coaches are still trying to figure out Holcomb. I've seen it go both ways in my day. I've never been good enough to play or coach at a D1 level, so I'm certainly no expert. I did play for 14 years (little league - college), and coached for four seasons (12-14 year olds), so my experience is a very limited one to small college (AA) play, and junior high & freshman level coaching. I'm sure things are handled differently on the higher levels. They'd have to be. I'm very curious as to what the coaches are thinking.
