Why No. 36: The quarterback, Luke Falk, is the best in the Pac-12 and one of the best in the nation. With Leach’s blessing, he will fire the ball all over the field after earning MVP honors in last season’s Sun Bowl. His 38:8 touchdown-to-interception ratio puts him in the Heisman Trophy discussions. Falk is one of eight returning starters on offense, including star receiver Gabe Marks.
