resilient UCLA quarterback who flashed comeback poise but lived on the edge
In the 2008 season, Kevin Craft showed real toughness and comeback ability for UCLA, famously rebounding from a rough first half to finish 25-of-43 for 259 yards and a touchdown in the opener vs. Tennessee, and he ended that season with 2,341 passing yards and 7 TDs against 20 interceptions. His differentiator was not clean efficiency; it was poise under pressure, competitiveness, and the willingness to keep swinging after mistakes. If you want a QB who can battle through chaos and deliver a spark, he fit the bill, but ball security was the big red flag.
