Just created 2007 Boston College with Matt Ryan. 654 pass attempts!
To compare that to other big-passing teams from the past:
Danny Wuerffel attempted 360 passes in his 1996 Heisman season
Joe Burrow's historic, cartoon season involved 527 passes
Jim McMahon at BYU's apex in 1980 attempted 445 passes
FSU's 50 ppg offense with Heisman winner Jameis Winston involved 384 attempts
I realize Ryan was an uncommon talent for a program like BC to have. I understand they passed a lot, and that made sense. But that's a lot of pass attempts, lol.
Just interesting. They didn't stink, they weren't playing catch-up all the time (11-3 record).
