UL Ragin' Cajun quarterback Terrance Broadway began the 2012 season as a backup. Now, he's one of 34 quarterbacks on the watch list for the 2013 Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award. The list was released on Wednesday. The players were selected based on their performance during the 2012 season and expectations for the 2013.

"I consider it an honor that the Davey O'Brien Foundation has named me to the Davey O'Brien Watch List. Although preseason recognition is nice, it has no affect on the season.  It doesn't matter where you start, it is where you finish."
