Cole Payton, a North Dakota State quarterback, possesses NFL-caliber traits despite limited exposure and a brief starting resume.
The 2009 FCS championship game pitted Bobby Hauck's top-ranked Montana Grizzlies, six-time finalists (and two-time champions) over the previous 15 seasons, against Andy Talley's second-seeded Villanova Wildcats. Montana took a 14-3 lead, but Villanova seized control with a 20-0 run and two touchdowns from MVP Matt Szczur. Montana scored late but couldn't recover a late onside kick, and a first-down run by Szczur sealed Villanova's first national title.
"Small college football is about the old-school rivalries where they dislike each other a good bit and it shows," said Peterman, who played linebacker at Wofford before graduating from South Carolina. "It's hard-nosed football. College football has become more like a business now. I'm not saying these kids are not going to make it [to the NFL]. Some will, but the vast majority of 'em are not. But these kids are playing football to play football."
