The Bay Area has another quarterback controversy between Joe and Steve.

This time it's Cal quarterbacks Joe Ayoob and Steve Levy. Well, it's not much of a controversy anymore, not after Levy led the Golden Bears to a 27-3 rout of Stanford over the weekend in Palo Alto.

Coach Tedford showed he's not afraid of mixing it up, as he gave Levy, the converted fullback-linebacker, his first collegiate start in the pressure cooker of the Big Game. Despite only having eleven career pass attempts, Levy showed poise and composure behind center, something which hasn't been seen much this season.

There's no doubt about it - Ayoob is much more talented than Levy. However, Levy, like Cody Pickett with the Niners, won over the crowd with his heart and tougness. It's obvious his skills are limited, but he played a clean game and his moment in the suni s going to be remembered for a while to come.
