But, Lamb completed 22 of 51 passes for 250 yards as a freshman.

Like Giardi and Bassett, Lamb is also versatile. He was a three sport captain at Natick High School, where he played football, basketball and baseball.

An interesting side note on Lamb is that his father, Tom, coached Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie during Flutie's days at Natick High.

The Rollout QB

Junior Dan Freeman is among the quickest QB candidates.

Freeman, who also plays halfback, is a good scrambler. As a halfback, Freeman rushed seven times for 18 yards in four games last season.

"I like to roll out," Freeman said. "I'm pretty flexible. I like to be on the move, but I can drop back, too. I can roll out in case the defense doesn't open up for you."

As a freshman in 1989, Freeman completed 16 of 24 passes for three touchdowns.

Agile Drop-back QB

Junior Terry Wolfram is another Crimson QB with outstanding athletic ability.

Like Lamb, Wolfram captained three sports in high school--football, basketball and baseball.

Wolfram describes himself as "mostly a drop-back passer with decent agility."

He completed 15 of 27 passes for 262 yards and two touchdowns in 1989 for the freshman squad.

Now the decision is up to Restic.

"We told them that we will decide after a three-day period," Restic said, "when we will throw a lot of offense at them. We'll see how they handle that."

Perhaps Lamb best summed up Restic's dilemma.

"I don't think he wants to make the decision," Lamb said. "He is hoping for one or two QB's to set themselves apart."
