But he was back in just three months and planning to play in May of 1997. However, Coach Arslanian left for Utah State and Josh had a decision to make.<br><br>Something basic to Josh's mind frame is to not sit. He decided to play at a Junior College because there are no transfer limitations. Josh stayed in the state of Utah and chose Snow Junior College.  I enjoyed the state and Snow plays good JC football, said Josh. He earned first-team NJCCA All-America honors after completing 153 of 258 passes (60%) for 2,308 yards and 28 touchdowns. Josh only played in the first half of each of the ten-game schedule. Then Josh had another decision to make: where would he go now?<br><br>Many Division I schools do not recruit JC players. The closest college, BYU, was not interested in Josh. Oklahoma needed a new quarterback. Coach Bob Stoops was just in the process of starting a new era of Sooner football.  I wanted to win, remembered Josh.  The quarterback in Coach Stoops' offense was supposed to be a pivotal guy. His quarterback was supposed to be a key man and make audibles a good percentage of the time. <br><br>Josh wondered about a national title when he made his recruiting trip to Oklahoma two years ago. He asked Bob Stoops, who was then in only his first month on the job, if he felt the Sooners would be able to challenge for a Big 12 and national championship in the next two years. Stoops told him yes, and Josh signed. <br>Oklahoma was noted for their running game and had only won 12 games in the preceding three seasons. Josh thrived on the challenge to change everything. After all, he had dreamed this dream all his life. Josh dared to dream the biggest dream. He succeeded beyond all expectations by throwing for 6,800 yards and 50 touchdowns. <br><br> I don't know if anybody could have foreseen the level he has played at, said Coach Stoops.  We figured it would be a winning level, otherwise we would not have gone after him. I think there's no question he'll go down as one of the great all-time Sooner players. And that's saying a lot. Winning the national championship and going undefeated is absolutely what he wanted. Josh is a great leader and he fulfilled his dream. <br>As the game ended, several players hoisted Josh, their two-year captain, on their shoulders. He got a hug from Coach Stoops. Josh even led the Oklahoma band in the fight song. From there, he made his way along the sideline where he pulled his high school coach out of the mob. Finally, he headed off to join his teammates and family. <br><br>Josh, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, was 25-of-39 for 214 yards with only one interception. He also ran a few option plays, some draws and did what needed to be done.  He took some vicious hits, offensive coordinator Mark Mangino said. There was speculation that Josh's elbow wasn't 100 percent.<br> It was good enough to go on the field, therefore there's no limitations, said Josh. <br><br>Monty Beisel, past BFS National High School Athlete of the Year, who now plays defensiv6FBt-mu+xq۽]j~]tW^E 5 kThUbXh'K4w74`dw-E=~hmZ YODfYL H:O1Xq#Pz䬢n[MY''c͇12wbC߇z-S{Rlœ1^`ۑ*(Hק[/Wk\.(8QT90A0f'ŵ{Zeu%!#ޱ"ȉ%@xeM91b VXg#YyC,Ⱥ>=S hRI5ɰYR\(nUi,>#'hW{OnW?֯Fg^?1:HKfF +F&fm>m΄ŋI655ޅZt<+Om՛c "(0:pVu'Cꢮ6롴ܝ,(Rn66sKf+&UM)-I,#rq־b>Tnm*yݬQ3~v(GB@^[ѥ8а&nuu\m뫒,+^XYqJ@lh[* >کPIhZoS9M:~/a;)XGлjlq"YK=+rvM?̜ȗ104QTy,yFۦyWrCެ~O7!k)H ݞYGoUǩ@R8k{H=b5UaK✕*w֣xދ!Otu{kM<@Z㮆p?ej]nm5k}ʶm:G(۴ %MNr%[b&tRA6=ploǪb`5em`45$p#h6cZcv0/W`RF9\E;/ƞ|Q6; \aR7G|Tdb65mJyNHPdUn6N2Oa5o2BKddR7wmk zΚ"ɰ']/GH롧qzLx 7t]kpz+?;?Mi?-toT}wq?CpxPxpü{>/RwGSwf}=;ߙǍtLSc^P2=חL?fxgsd Ixq<#CkDŽjÕ}9*GF^L<`@6}NI")o3%{ϱ,oj-Hn9&U $,~҂3¹>"|.&cp@'S]3?Sj~yZR_|nl-ND"PiGSR7L1GZ- {p>-`֭漹\ٛ%YGCSk+ti(#ki޾&0}h&͖Ǐ՘>R&X5V4h' 9gDWzSsd뽧=xt*"TV#k.
