Looking Ahead: The first QB to face FSU's D in 2012 may be one of the toughest outs

Murray State senior quarterback Casey Brockman was named to the 2012 College Football Performance Awards Quarterback Award Watch List. Brockman (seen in the video above from 2011 pre-season) enters his final year poised to become the school's all-time leader in passing attempts, completions, yards and touchdowns. Through his first three years, Brockman is 579-for-888 for 6,261 yards and 43 touchdowns. He has also rushed for 456 yards and 11 touchdowns. Last season, Brockman set a single season record for attempts and completions when he went 316-for-477 for 3,276 yards and 25 touchdowns on his way to being a finalist for the Walter Payton Award. He was also named a Third-Team All-American by the Associated Press and The Sports Network. Brockman made NCAA history against Tennessee State as he threw for 422 yards in the first half. He finished the game by throwing for 600 yards and seven touchdowns, becoming just the fifth player in FCS history to throw for 600 yards. He tossed at least two touchdowns in six games, including closing out the season by throwing for two touchdowns, rushing for one and catching one in the season finale against Southeast Missouri.
