The greatest college football quarterbacks of all time

LSU senior Joe Burrow had a season for the ages. He tossed an NCAA-record 60 touchdown passes, including five in the College Football Playoff National Championship, and led the Tigers to their first national title since 2007. The Ohio native also won the Heisman Trophy by a record margin. His achievements got us thinking about the greatest college quarterbacks of all time.

5. Kellen Moore (Boise State)

Playing in a mid-major conference worked against Kellen Moore, in terms of national championship chances and Heisman Trophy recognition, but he filled out the stat sheet on a regular basis for the Broncos.

 

Moore went 50-3 as a starter, including a 14-0 season in 2009 that ended with a victory in the Fiesta Bowl. He amassed 14,667 passing yards and sported a 142-28 touchdown-interception ratio.

4. Deshaun Watson (Clemson)

Deshaun Watson wasn’t able to earn a Heisman Trophy, but he led the Tigers to two consecutive national championship games. They lost to Alabama, 45-40, in the 2015 season, before they exacted revenge with a 35-31 triumph the next year.
