Feature on SJSU's QB Kyle Reed

About his QB's amazing 79.4% completion rate, Dick Tomey said:
"Kyle Reed is just ... I mean, I've never seen a guy ... he's completing almost 80 percent of his passes,. The thing you don't understand is that this guy didn't have spring practice. He broke his foot, he missed spring practice. He was getting third-team (repetitions) in the fall, which is practically nothing. And, he went into that first game and just lit it up." (HA)

HA Note: "Reed, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound transfer from California, came off the bench to rally San Jose State from a 10-0 deficit and spare the Spartans what would have been an ignominious season-opening defeat to lower-division UC Davis, 13-10. But it wasn't just UC Davis that Reed, who had been ranked the No. 7 quarterback in the country coming out of high school by Super Prep, has had his moments against. Reed has been exacting in his throws against Nebraska, Stanford and San Diego State. Last week he completed 23 of 26 passes against Stanford — including the first 15 in a row — and would have set a WAC record had another not been dropped."

Praising Reed, Tomey said:
"There's no way anybody could have expected him to be as effective. Basically, he had not played in a football game in three years and nine months since high school. He went to Cal and did not play a snap. He did not play a snap here last year (as a redshirt)." (HA)
