Some quarterbacks are game managers, and others are gunslingers. Bailey Zappe could be a character from the Wild West, and he pulls the trigger on a wide-open passing attack that will make Saturday’s Boca Raton Bowl worth watching. Zappe has passed for 5,545 yards and 56 touchdowns this season — bigger numbers than many quarterbacks put up in a career — and is set to add to those totals when he leads Western Kentucky against favored Appalachian State. The 6-foot-1,220-pound Zappe is a late-round NFL draft prospect. He transferred from Houston Baptist after passing for 10,004 yards and 78 touchdowns in 36 games at the FCS level. For the Hilltoppers, Zappe has completed 69.2 percent of his 639 passes while minimizing mistakes (11 interceptions) and negative plays (15 sacks).
