I didn't realize he was the type of prospect that could come in and play right away, even if it is in a relief/situational role.

Heck, Harper wasn't even the best prospect in the city league last year. That would be Arthur Brown who is playing at Miami. I haven't looked to see how he's doing.

I'll be rooting for Harper.
Well, here's how much faith they've got in Harper: in overtime, Roper's injured and now Harper is in as the QB with a chance to win it.

edit: and after a sack on his first play, putting together a drive for a TD to win!

further edit: Roper's out 2-4 weeks (to go along with Costa's season ending injury over the summer), so Harper's going to get a lot more playing time. He went from being 5th on the QB depth chart to now being a potential starter next week. I don't think he's actually replaced Masoli as #2 on the depth chart, but he was the guy in overtime today because with Oregon needing just a field-goal to win, they were going to go conservative and stick to running plays.
