GOLD AND BLACK ILLUSTRATED VOLUME 27, ISSUE 6 5 Starting quarterback David Blough is known for flashy card tricks — he'll perform them on anyone who asks, and most of his teammates don't like to be victims anymore — and aptitude as an impressive Spades player.

That'd make him King David, who slayed Goliath and whom Blough is named after.
