Case Keenum was Houston's starting quarterback who was injured early in the season and is seeking a sixth year. The guy is one fo the best QB's in the country. Houston was expecting a breakout year and injuries sent them into a spiral much like the Cajuns.
Not sure what has led to Broadway's decision but I would suspect the rough year and the idea that Keenum could be coming back played a factor.
Out of curiosity, anyone know why Piland was put in the last 8 games over Broadway?
Based on history, it's unlikely that the NCAA grants Keenum a sixth year since he received a redshirt as a freshman for non-injury issues. (Kolb was a senior QB there in 2006. No reason to burn Keenum's first year.) Not that the NCAA ever shows much consistency in its rulings.
Piland played in a spread similar to what Houston runs at Southlake Carroll. That likely played a role in the coaches going with him in the final eight games. He had a solid year as a true freshman when given a chance.
From what I gathered in speaking with Broadway, he didn't feel like he got a fair shake from the coaches there. With he and Piland having the same amount of eligibilty left, his odds didn't look good to get another shot in Houston.
