No. 1 - Max Hall:" He racked up 3,957 yards and 35 touchdowns last season, completing 69.1 percent of his passes. The Cougars' last 10 senior quarterbacks to make it through an entire season have all won conference titles. Whether Hall's next hinges on the protection abilities of a line that's replacing four starters."

No. 10 - Jan Jorgensen: "The three-year starter is already the Mountain West's career sacks leader with 22.5, but he took a step back last season as he bulked up, finishing with five QB takedowns. He's shed 15 pounds in hopes of returning to his 2007 form in which he was fifth nationally with 13.5 sacks."
