Yes, every school had their talented arm that got more attempts. They all pretty much stunk.
Florida had John Reaves, who famously threw 9 INTs in a game. He was the nation's all-time leading passer, thanks to the Gator Flop. But he had more INTs than TDs and a 53.5% comp. 115 rating. Okay for back then, but not good in a vacuum.
Hell, Pat Sullivan won a Heisman at Auburn, but only had a 55% comp and 135 career rating. Again, I'm fully aware that it was a different era and context, but these coaches rewarding arm talent back in the day hampered their teams with pretty bad results.
Archie Manning had more INTs than TDs and simply was not a good passer. But boy, could he scramble!
For the B1G, there's even less high-volume passers going back in time. Purdue's Mike Phipps was the career leader in attempts for around a decade, and basically had a 1:1 TD:INT ratio and 120 pass rating.
