Tired of his prolific passer being labeled a so-called "system quarterback," Hawaii coach June Jones on Monday pointed to another star quarterback running a system: Florida's Tim Tebow.
Jones said the key difference, however, is that his record-breaking quarterback, Colt Brennan, runs an NFL-style offense while Tebow runs a "college system."
"My quarterback has been labeled a 'system quarterback' for three years," Jones said. "He is the best passer in college history. He is. There is no question about it. Tim Tebow is in a system."
...
Jones said he has taken a lot of heat for his comments, but there were some people more than happy to hear what he said. "I did get a whole bunch of e-mails and calls from Florida State people that said, 'Thanks for finally saying that."'

You think he's trying to get Florida fans incensed before UH visits next season? I think this is hillarious!
