The closest college, BYU, was not interested in Josh. Oklahoma needed a new quarterback. Coach Bob Stoops was just in the process of starting a new era of Sooner football.  I wanted to win, remembered Josh.  The quarterback in Coach Stoops' offense was supposed to be a pivotal guy. His quarterback was supposed to be a key man and make audibles a good percentage of the time. <br><br>Josh wondered about a national title when he made his recruiting trip to Oklahoma two years ago. He asked Bob Stoops, who was then in only his first month on the job, if he felt the Sooners would be able to challenge for a Big 12 and national championship in the next two years. Stoops told him yes, and Josh signed. <br>Oklahoma was noted for their running game and had only won 12 games in the preceding three seasons. Josh thrived on the challenge to change everything. After all, he had dreamed this dream all his life. Josh dared to dream the biggest dream. He succeeded beyond all expectations by throwing for 6,800 yards and 50 touchdowns. <br><br> I don't know if anybody could have foreseen the level he has played at, said Coach Stoops.  We figured it would be a winning level, otherwise we would not have gone after him. I think there's no question he'll go down as one of the great all-time Sooner players. And that's saying a lot. Winning the national championship and going undefeated is absolutely what he wanted. Josh is a great leader and he fulfilled his dream. <br>As the game ended, several players hoisted Josh, their two-year captain, on their shoulders. H
