a big-armed Idaho QB who flashed explosive upside in the 2005 season
In the 2005 season, Steven Wichman showed why Idaho trusted him at quarterback: he threw for 2,158 yards and 8 touchdowns, including a 390-yard, 3-TD outburst against UNLV and a 238-yard efficient game versus Utah State[6][9][13]. He was praised as a stronger downfield thrower, and Idaho coaches clearly valued his ability to stress defenses vertically[2][10]. The flip side: his 48.6% completion rate and 14 interceptions in 2006-era season totals point to streakiness and turnover risk[1][5]. If you want arm talent and volatility, he’s intriguing; if you want steady, mistake-light QB play, buyer beware[1][2].
