Caleb Hanie was thrust into the spotlight on Sunday when both Jay Cutler and Todd Collins went down with injuries. The Bears were down to the Green Bay Packers, and then Hanie stepped in and almost led Chicago to tie the game before an late interception doomed the Bears' chances of making the comeback. Hanie went to school at Colorado State, and we're taking a quick look back at his tenure there.[...]

Caleb Hanie: Bears QB Plays Well In Playoffs, Bright Future Ahead
Caleb Hanie played well under extremely adverse conditions on Sunday. He had virtually no preparation, and had about a minute to get ready to go into the game.
