He might have had a lot of tipped balls that weren't his fault ....

It hasn't always been this good at Iowa.

I just created 2023 Iowa for my game and it was a struggle to do their passing game.  I allow for repeats on short receptions, usually up to 10 yards, then no repeats beyond that.  Because their passing game was so poor, their short pass receptions peak at only 7 yards, which is a first.  4.8 ypa is the worst I've seen in creating over 2,000 different teams.

UM great, Rick Leach, perhaps on their Mt Rushmore of QBs, struggled mightily as a FR:
30-85 (35.3%) for 647 yds.....3 TD / 10 INT, good for a 87.4 rating
But he could run.

This team went 10-0-1 and finished 2nd in the final AP poll in 1973.
Thanks, Archie.

Stats against Tech that year, Tech didn't attempt a pass in the entire game, and UGA need not have tried (they were trailing 16-0 and I'd guess had no choice.)


Passing: UGA 5/20/48/1, GT 0/1/0/0
Rushing: UGA 40/121, GT 68/319

Ouch.  

And that's why it was common to punt on 3rd down back then.  The coaches couldn't stand watching a 3rd futile attempt after the first 2.

Georgia Tech’s Reggie Ball and Ohio State’s Steve Bellisari are two names that come to mind for how memorably their respective fan bases lit up message boards and post-game call-in shows with anger and sworn vengeance. As inconsistent, regressive, and underwhelming as both were, their passer ratings aren’t as bad as I expected, though it’s hard to forgive Ball’s 11TD/12INT Junior season:



Same for Steve Bellisari with a career 33TD/27INT combo. Can you imagine the reaction from Ohio State fans if Urban Meyer or Ryan Day fielded a QB as substandard as Bellisari?! And fielding him over the course of multiple seasons at that? Reggie Ball’s multiple seasons starting is more understandable at GT, but how was Ohio State not able to find a better QB during the THREE seasons Bellisari started?! Kyle McCord’s passer rating was above 160 and that wasn’t enough to keep Buckeye fans from calling for flashier options.
