"Quietly walking within the fog and haze of college football's greatest players emerges the next generation of athlete. Although his visibility is not evident to all who are prejudiced by the blinding nature of a BCS minded landscape...it is evident and manifest that as the winds blow away the clouds that obscure our vision, that the sun will shine brightly on one lone figure. Giant in stature, his legend will be more epic in comparison. But for now he is...Byron in the mist!"
