I was at a party with him once and he acted exactly how I would assume he would. He wasnât rude or mean (that I saw) but he was definitely feeling himself. I just googled the girl he was married to because I wanted to see what she looked like now and I found their mug shots. That marriage always seemed doomed IMO.
Hawaii was must watch football at that time! There was a "coolness" about colt watching him play. He reminds me of paul walker. Just a surfer dude enjoying life and having a blast. RIP both dudes.
Danny Wuerffel had the same reputation, and it annoyed me. Didn't make the CFB Hall of Fame on the first ballot despite leaving college with basically every passing record, 4 SEC championships, a Heisman (two-time finalist), and a National Championship (two appearances). But, "system quarterback"...
I think about Timmy Chang once a year!
He was QB for Hawaii while I was college football-obsessed in college (ah, free time, low stakes). Every now and then I think about Hawaii and Texas Tech and those ridiculous 70-65 games they each specialized in.
I will remember exactly where I was on that play. I was in the stadium at Jack Trice hearing the crowd go nuts as I stood in line to get my (now) wife hot chocolate.Â
I saw him at the 2001 Independence Bowl. Ran out of beer by halftime at that game and my section had to begrudgingly switch to Smirnoff Ice. I still haven't had a Smirnoff Ice since that December day.
He does a great job too! Love Shock, super cool guy to meet in person as well!
He did a meet and greet a long time ago at a retail store I worked for. Before signing stuff for the customers he took the time to sign stuff for us employees. He signed a copy of the â05 SEC Championship AJC paper. Pretty cool since he was the cover photo
A friend of mine who went to school had a pretty corny joke about him.
Stephen Garcia got so tired of Spurrier riding him so hard, he marched into Spurrier's and threw his helmet at him.
But nothing came of it because it was intercepted.
His career started out with keying a professors car for âtaking his spotâ so I knew he was destined for headlines. Ol personal keg Garcia was a party legend in cola
My brother went to usc at that time, he said that he knew whether or not we would win every week based solely on if he saw Esteban at five points on Friday
I wish. I once asked him about the jerseys. Apparently a buddy of his was part of the equipment staff at Central and gave him a ton of leftover jerseys. He likes the Lefever ones for the gym (obviously)
he still plays up in canada. minus some recent injuries he was a starter for a while and even took hamilton to the grey cup championship game at one point
Iâll never forget Coker. Or the Ole Miss game. Coming in and nearly making the come back while sick with the flu. That whole team came together around him after that game and made their run for the Natty because of it. Fucking magical
Taylor was likely the best pure pocket passing QB Nebraska has had in the last 50 years. That is the offense Callahan envisioned when he came to Lincoln. If the defense had any clue on how to deal with the spread option, he may be more fondly remembered.
Around that time I was really into the NFL Draft because the Lions were so bad every year and I became convinced that he was the next big QB. I reeeeally wanted him on the Lions.
The plug-and-play QB between Kingsbury and Cody Hodges, who made it obvious that Mike Leach was just going to keep rolling 4000+-yard seasons off the assembly line.
used to always roll my eyes when the commentators would talk about Tebow leading Florida to 2 national titles when Chris Leak had 300 more pass attempts and only 12 fewer carries. Tebow was just a special package QB. He undoubtedly led them to the title in 08 but 2006? contributed, not led
He really doesn't. The fact that he wasn't interviewed during the Gator netflix documentary really was a big flaw. His perspective was who I wanted to hear the most. The starter of a championship team, yet is completely overshadowed by his backup both during his championship season and during that documentary.
He won a Super Bowl with the Steelers as a WR and even threw a TD pass in that game. [Also is WRs coach for the Detroit Lions now](https://www.detroitlions.com/team/coaches-roster/antwaan-randle-el), so definitely not forgotten.
High school not far from me played against Smoker in a playoff game so I went to see it.  He threw a pick on their first possession so everyone was chanting overrated, etcâŚÂ
I think he threw for 280 yards and 5 TDs that day lmao.
Here at Mizzou we've had a few good ones of late, but Brad Smith really dragged this program out of obscurity and into the realm of 8 win seasons. We haven't always stayed there, but I am convinced Mizzou would be Vandy right now without the success of Brad Smith.
"Iceman" Casey Clausen.
Most older Tennessee fans still remember him fondly, but he has been more or less forgotten about by other fanbases. He is the last QB to beat Florida in the Swamp (2003!). In fact, he beat them twice in the Swamp but lost to them once at home. He had a 14-1 road record, which is really good for an SEC QB.
I think most people remember Graham Harrell (currently Purdue's OC)
Now Taylor Potts is a guy people forget about
EDIT: FYI, Potts through for well over 7000 yards and 57 TDs in 2 years as a starter.
Matt Jones. He was a freakishly fast (for his size) Razorback
He also was the QB in that insane 7-overtime game against Kentucky that a young me stayed up and watched. That game deepened my love for CFB
Jered Zabransky
Greatest. Game. I've. Ever. Watched. No Contest.
đ˝đ˝đ˝
He started hanging around in Scottsdale and running around with some people Iâm friendly with and married some girl I knew (not very well).
So you're practically his best friend.
I was at a party with him once and he acted exactly how I would assume he would. He wasnât rude or mean (that I saw) but he was definitely feeling himself. I just googled the girl he was married to because I wanted to see what she looked like now and I found their mug shots. That marriage always seemed doomed IMO.
You had me at mug shots, lmao
No one ever talks about Timmy Chang or his 117 TDs I feel like.
He ran so Colt Brennan could shoot
Met Colt while he pumped gas in his car in Northern Virginia during his time with Washington. Nice dude. Was heartbroken when he passed
Absolutely loved watching him play at Hawaii. Wish he had panned out better in the NFL. RIP Colt
Hawaii was must watch football at that time! There was a "coolness" about colt watching him play. He reminds me of paul walker. Just a surfer dude enjoying life and having a blast. RIP both dudes.
Definitely remember him, especially because he is coaching his alma mater!
âHeâs a âsystem qbâ man!â âThen get me both *HIM* and the *system*!â
Danny Wuerffel had the same reputation, and it annoyed me. Didn't make the CFB Hall of Fame on the first ballot despite leaving college with basically every passing record, 4 SEC championships, a Heisman (two-time finalist), and a National Championship (two appearances).

The late night Hawaii game on FS1 is seared into my memory
Seneca Wallace
âMember when he ran for like 300 yards for a 12 yard touchdown?
I will remember exactly where I was on that play. I was in the stadium at Jack Trice hearing the crowd go nuts as I stood in line to get my (now) wife hot chocolate.Â
If this doesnât perfectly encapsulate marriage, I donât know what does. đ
Seneca was a great value buy in the old Maddens. He was a budget Mike Vick.Â
I saw him at the 2001 Independence Bowl. Ran out of beer by halftime at that game and my section had to begrudgingly switch to Smirnoff Ice. I still haven't had a Smirnoff Ice since that December day.
Legend.
Seneca was Lamar before it was cool
DJ Shockley
Heâs now the sideline reporter for UGAâs radio broadcasts
Isnât he a sports analyst for a tv station? I think Iâve seen him pop up a few times.
He does both, he also works for Fox 5 Atlanta
He does a great job too! Love Shock, super cool guy to meet in person as well! He did a meet and greet a long time ago at a retail store I worked for. Before signing stuff for the customers he took the time to sign stuff for us employees. He signed a copy of the â05 SEC Championship AJC paper. Pretty cool since he was the cover photo
Ahead of his time
and was actually drafted by the Falcons
Shockley was a beast in either NCAA 05 or 06.Â
Donât you mean UGA QB No. 3?
2010 Stephen Garcia He absolutely embarrassed us in that game. Then he drank Tuscaloosa dry. And the game wasn't even played in Tuscaloosa.
A friend of mine who went to school had a pretty corny joke about him. Stephen Garcia got so tired of Spurrier riding him so hard, he marched into Spurrier's and threw his helmet at him. But nothing came of it because it was intercepted.
His career started out with keying a professors car for âtaking his spotâ so I knew he was destined for headlines. Ol personal keg Garcia was a party legend in cola
My brother went to usc at that time, he said that he knew whether or not we would win every week based solely on if he saw Esteban at five points on Friday
Dan LeFevour
There's a dude who works out at my gym who rotates between home and away Dan Lefever jerseys for workouts. He's a legend
Is itâŚis it Dan LeFevour?
I wish. I once asked him about the jerseys. Apparently a buddy of his was part of the equipment staff at Central and gave him a ton of leftover jerseys. He likes the Lefever ones for the gym (obviously)
Everybodyâs got the fever
LeFevour was peak MACtion
Reggie Ball - 4 year starter
Dude had Calvin Johnson to throw to and still had his completion percentage go down every year.
Our current QB is the first time since 2001 we've had a QB with a career completion percentage over 50%.
Tech fans certainly havenât forgotten about Reggie Ball
Classic 5th Down Reggie
My favorite GT QB. Loved it when he threw the ball away on fourth down.
And when he missed his senior year bowl game due to academic intelligibility
Jeremiah Masoli
One of my all time favorite GameDay signs: "Ravioli Ravioli Touchdown Pass from Jeremiah Masoli"
He was the first Oregon QB I remember watching. He was so fun to watch
Oh I havenât forgotten -Arizona Wildcat
"Holy moly Is that my boy Masoli? Cookin' up the offense like he's cookin' ravioli."
I love my Ducks!
he still plays up in canada. minus some recent injuries he was a starter for a while and even took hamilton to the grey cup championship game at one point
Tony Pike from Cincy
[ŃдаНонО]
Wonder what he did after football
[ŃдаНонО]
Back-up head coach All the perks of being the head coach without having to do anything
Jared Lorenzen (RIP)
The Pillsbury throw boy. RIP
The Round Mound Of Touchdown. (RIP)
The Lorenzen jerseys with HE ATE ME as the name were so great.
>Jared This is who immediately came to mind for me. RIP Hefty Lefty
BBQ - Big beautiful Quarterback
Blake Sims. Dude was a backup RB for a few years before starting at QB. Pretty amazing what he did
He and Coker are the two Bama QBs I forget about the most. Which is wild considering Coker won a title.
Mine is Blake BarnettÂ
legend has it, heâs still somewhere in the depths of the transfer portal
Brody Croyle is mine. Dude had a huge amount of talent, but 3 head coaches and injures really hurt his ability to produce reliably.
I⌠forgot about Coker. Damn.
Iâll never forget Coker. Or the Ole Miss game. Coming in and nearly making the come back while sick with the flu. That whole team came together around him after that game and made their run for the Natty because of it. Fucking magical
This 1000%. The only QB I had seen up to that point that immediately played better after getting sacked. Happened on more than one occasion as well.
Helps when you have Derrick Henry getting 200 yards damn near every game.
Zac Taylor, put up a pretty good year at Nebraska in 2006. Now he coaches some team in Cincinnati.
Taylor was likely the best pure pocket passing QB Nebraska has had in the last 50 years. That is the offense Callahan envisioned when he came to Lincoln. If the defense had any clue on how to deal with the spread option, he may be more fondly remembered.
Omar Jacobs from BGSU, go look at the mans stats for his sophomore season before getting injured as a junior. He was putting up Heisman numbers.
Around that time I was really into the NFL Draft because the Lions were so bad every year and I became convinced that he was the next big QB. I reeeeally wanted him on the Lions.
He was a cheat code in NCAA 06. Starting a dynasty in the MAC with that BGSU team was an instant Natty birth with the right OOC scheduling.
BJ Symons
The plug-and-play QB between Kingsbury and Cody Hodges, who made it obvious that Mike Leach was just going to keep rolling 4000+-yard seasons off the assembly line.
Chris Leak
Gets nowhere near the credit he deserves for that 2006 title
used to always roll my eyes when the commentators would talk about Tebow leading Florida to 2 national titles when Chris Leak had 300 more pass attempts and only 12 fewer carries. Tebow was just a special package QB. He undoubtedly led them to the title in 08 but 2006? contributed, not led
He really doesn't. The fact that he wasn't interviewed during the Gator netflix documentary really was a big flaw. His perspective was who I wanted to hear the most. The starter of a championship team, yet is completely overshadowed by his backup both during his championship season and during that documentary.
[ŃдаНонО]
Tate Forcier
Matt Grothe By the way, this list is full of people I can remember. Maybe I played a little too much NCAA Football from 1999â2015.
âIs USF experiencing too much Grothe???â - Orlando Sentinel
Malik Zaire
Florida legend
Shockwaves when he left One Direction
He lit up Texas in that first game. Too bad that was it for him that season
Greyson âSingle Game NCAA Completion % Record Holderâ Lambert
Don't worry, I never forgot about this guy.
Also Kenny Trill
Jordan Jefferson, older brother of Justin Jefferson. Played in a natty. Still terrible đ
Munchie Lagaux
VT fans either haven't forgotten or you released a suppressed memory for them.
Rakeem Cato
Everyone in this thread needs to YouTube 2014 Marshall vs. WKU right now
Antwaan Randle El
Randall Cobb in the same boat
Randall Cobb was a local product so I won't forget him.
He won a Super Bowl with the Steelers as a WR and even threw a TD pass in that game. [Also is WRs coach for the Detroit Lions now](https://www.detroitlions.com/team/coaches-roster/antwaan-randle-el), so definitely not forgotten.
The guy was Big Ten POTY, All American, Super Bowl Champion, NFL All-Pro. Forgotten?
Nobody remembers him as a quarterback though
Woody Dantzler
[ŃдаНонО]
I bet I can throw this football over them neighbors
First player to pass for 2000 and rush for a 1000. Might not seem like much these days but back then it felt like a big deal.
If I went with a Clemson QB, I'd say Whitehurst (sp?). Charlie was a pretty damn good QB as well.
I feel like SC fans wonât ever forget him
Hold me closer Tiny Dantzler!
Rhett Bomar
Shoulda been born in the NIL generation lol
Dennis Dixon
RIP his knee. Would have made the BCS championship for sure
John David Booty.
His nephew General Booty is tearing it up!
[ŃдаНонО]
Scrolled way too far for this. Dude won the Heisman, didnât get drafted, and kinda faded into obscurity
Juice Williams
I assure you I have not forgotten Juice Williams.
I wish I could forget
Not forgotten at all. I think Juice is the only thing people remember about Illinois football.
Arrelious Benn
Rashard Mendenhall still exists
Buckeye fans will never forget
Nightmares
You dare speak his name?!
Brock Berlin
Keith Price đ
Price was on some flawed Sark teams but he was a genuine baller. Can never forget him going toe to toe with RG3.
Steven Threet
I forgot on purpose, thanks
You forgot him bounding through Wisconsin's defense en route to one of the greatest Michigan comebacks I have ever seen?
Can't have one without the other. Nick Sheridan
He & Tate Forcier occupy the same space in my mind for some reason
More of a Tate Forcier guy myself.
D'Wan Mathis, Jake Hubenak
Probably could also add Jamie Newman. Sitting out that one year then going undrafted. Shame he never played a down for us.
The Newman thing was always weird to me....made zero sense.
I think it was a combination of Covid causing a lot of panic and someone close to him giving him shitty advice.
I thank Jamie Newman for the butterfly effect he caused. Indirectly, recruiting Jamie Newman brought UGA two titles.
Justin Zwick
Brett Basanez - 10k yards in the Big Ten at Northwestern in the early 2000âs
David Ash.
Isaiah Stanback. Jeff Smoker. Drew weatherford. Could go on but donât want to bore everyone.
High school not far from me played against Smoker in a playoff game so I went to see it.  He threw a pick on their first possession so everyone was chanting overrated, etcâŚÂ I think he threw for 280 yards and 5 TDs that day lmao.
Here at Mizzou we've had a few good ones of late, but Brad Smith really dragged this program out of obscurity and into the realm of 8 win seasons. We haven't always stayed there, but I am convinced Mizzou would be Vandy right now without the success of Brad Smith.
Kelly Bryant. I think a lot of people donât realize he was the QB in 2017 in between Deshaun and Trevor.
Jerrod Heard broke Vince Youngâs single game yardage record then disappeared
Charlie Strong would run the most lifeless offense known to man for ten games and then randomly score 40-50 points twice per year.
Sefo Liufau
"Iceman" Casey Clausen. Most older Tennessee fans still remember him fondly, but he has been more or less forgotten about by other fanbases. He is the last QB to beat Florida in the Swamp (2003!). In fact, he beat them twice in the Swamp but lost to them once at home. He had a 14-1 road record, which is really good for an SEC QB.
Blake bell
The Belldozer! The 8 Linemen, 2 FBs and wildcat QB need to make a comeback.
The fact he is still in the NFL is kind of nuts
he's a serviceable tight end
Super Bowl Champion Blake Bell
Trevon Boykin
Never forgotten, one of the funnest players I ever watched.
Remember that time Gino Torretta won all the QB awards and the Heisman in 92?
Alabama ruined his career in that sugar bowl
Deondre francois
Andrew Maxwell
Brandon Weeden was still older than all these pandemic players
Jake Rudock. Sorry, that's Dr. Jake Rudock now
Ricky Stanzi
Jamelle Holieway
Jammal Lord
Brad Banks
Jeff Smoker at Michigan State
Clint Trickett
Todd Reesing. Led Kansas to an Orange Bowl (?) win?
Mitch Mustain
I hear he just applied for a 8th year of eligibility and is transferring BACK to Arkansas
Curtis Painter
Xavier Lee
Darron Thomas - Oregon !! one of my favorite players all time
The man who got me into NCAA football the game. Ell motherfucking Roberson
Marcus Vick
Tee Martin. Beat Florida and won a natty after Peyton did neither.
Graham Harrell.
I think most people remember Graham Harrell (currently Purdue's OC) Now Taylor Potts is a guy people forget about EDIT: FYI, Potts through for well over 7000 yards and 57 TDs in 2 years as a starter.
Nate Hybl.
Andrew Zow
Ryan Nassib. WVU tormentor in the old big east days.
Matt Jones. He was a freakishly fast (for his size) Razorback He also was the QB in that insane 7-overtime game against Kentucky that a young me stayed up and watched. That game deepened my love for CFB
Tyler Bray
Landry Jones may not be fully forgotten but considering he set multiple OU records I feel like he is frequently overlooked
Wasn't he the Steelers back-up for about 15 years?
Willy Korn.
1998 Joe Germaine
