Matt Cassel, to earn what I will earn for the 2010-2011 school year, will have to achieve the following stats:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td width="150">4.57 Passing yards</td><td width="150">.03 Touchdowns</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td width="150">.4 Completions</td><td width="150">.33 Rushing yards</td></tr></tbody></table>
