Jacksonville's McGregor shines in all-star game
NCAA Football Betting Lines
01/23/2012 -
Jacksonville, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - He might have played at a non-scholarship
program, but Jacksonville University quarterback Josh McGregor showed quite a
bit to the scholarship players in the first Battle of Florida All-Star game
Saturday in Boca Raton.
Better yet, pro scouts took notice, too.
McGregor led three scoring drive in the first quarter, finished 11 of 12 for
123 yards and rushed for a touchdown while leading the North team to a 51-3
romp over the South. He was named his team's most valuable player.
"It's weird," said McGregor, who also caught a 7-yard pass in his one quarter
of work. "I was MVP from a small school (Belle Glades Day) in my high school
all-star game and now in college."
The game featured NFL Draft-eligible players who were either born in Florida
or played high school or college football in the state. Representatives from
29 NFL teams, four Canadian Football League and one Arena Football League team
scouted the game.
Kerwin Bell, McGregor's head coach at Jacksonville, which plays in the non-
scholarship Pioneer Football League, was the North's offensive coordinator.
The head coach was Bobby Bowden, the legendary former Florida State mentor.
McGregor, from Royal Palm Beach, Fla., ended his career 23rd on the all-time
FCS list with 11,230 passing yards and was sixth in touchdown passes with 111.
Another one of the highlights for the North came from Appalachian State's
DeAndre Presley, the quarterback-turned-defensive-back. He returned a punt 65
yards for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
