GETTING OUR GUTZ ON

All this talk about Michigan quarterbacks has gotten us sentimental, so we decided to track down former Michigan QB Matt Gutierrez.

You remember him - he's the guy from De La Salle everybody wanted at quarterback instead of John Navarre. One of the top QB recruits in the country in 2002, no one's quite sure why Gutz never got his shot.

Did he really hurt his shoulder before the 2005 opener against Miami (OH)?

Was he suspended from the team on the downlow?

Is Lloyd Carr a racist?

I guess we will never know. But if it makes you feel any better, Gutz is having a "torrid" fall camp, according to the Idaho State SID (BTW, the Bengals are Division 1-AA).

Gutz's stats in two scrimmages: 21-for-30, 296 yards, 5 touchdowns, 1 INT.

Way to go Gutz - don't let the man hold you down...
