Probably didn't have to pay much money to get the no-name QB on the cover. I'm sure that T.Smith's agent demanded a ton of $$$. And as said above, Quinn did absolutely nothing to warrant being placed on the cover - he had 4 chances to beat USC and got his ass handed to him every year.

Besides, the Bose State game was the most entertaining game all year, people will remember it. Zabransky has image power beyond that of hardcore college watchers, its a strong marketing move IMO.

I am glad to see a non-"big name" on the cover.

Not only did the QB throw the almost-cost-them-the-game pick, but Johnson scored the winning TD, the two receivers ran the hook-and-ladder to perfection and didn't the backup QB throw a TD in OT? Granted, Zabransky had balls of steel in that game and it's great to see a program like BSU get some deserved recognition, but EA should have opted for a team shot on that cover.
