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).

MSU's first year under Dantonio, we played them in the Champs Sports Bowl.  They were ranked like #11, and we needed a win in our finale to get into a bowl.  It was a pretty good game.  BC always got underslotted in bowls back then.  Now I don't even think slotting exists.

Had Newton stayed out longer, we could have had a Matt Ryan-Brian Hoyer rematch in the NFL 13 years later.  Never would have bet on that.

I caught what you might call my white whale today.  I emailed someone in Navy's athletic dept and they responded with stats and roster for the '63 Middies.
'63 Navy is the most-requested team I didn't yet offer.  So good news for all!  Ready to be launched and she's a beaut!

I texted .my iowa alum friend.  She said that was a newspaper on campus during War.  Not sure that's a direct answer.   
Sounds like a lakeside motel.

She's not wrong.  A team rented out Iowa's facilities during the war and played some football as well...
