College Football Trivia.....one more time

[RedEarth]

What quarterback started for both Oklahoma and UCLA?

[VermontDem2004]

1. J.C. Watts

Actually I have no idea :shrug:

[RedEarth]

3. Wrong..

Hint...he also played in the NFL.

[VermontDem2004]

4. Cade McNown

WRONG!

[theboss]

2. Troy Aikman!

Hooray for me.

[GumboYaYa]

5. You are correct. I think.

[VermontDem2004]

6. Aikman did record a solo called "Oklahoma Nights"

on the album "Everyone wants to be a Cowboy"

[RedEarth]

9. I never heard Troy sing that

In fact I wasn't aware there was such an album. Needless to say, I'm sure it came out in the heyday of the Cowboys.

[RedEarth]

7. You are a genius!!!!!!!!!!!

Troy Aikman is correct. One more question. What quarterback took over for Aikman(when he was injured) at OU and led the Sooners to the national championship?

[VermontDem2004]

8. J.C. Watts

WRONG AGAIN!

[RedEarth]

11. You're right,...you're wrong again...

I think JC played at OU a few years before Aikman.
Hint....the quarterback that took over for Troy was a freshman and when to high school in CA.

[GumboYaYa]

10. Jamelle Holieway.

[RedEarth]

13. You are a genius also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holieway is correct. He was a freshman and took over when Aikman got hurt. Once Aikman realized OU was not going to get out of the wishbone, he asked Switzer to help him transfer to UCLA. Barry did everything he could to help with the transfer, since he knew that Aikman would have a better future at UCLA.

[RedEarth]

21. Regarding Aikman

Last week I was listening to a sports talk show and they were interviewing one of the coaches that had been on the staff at OU when Aikman was there. He said in his 30 years of coaching he had never seen a quarterback throw the ball any better than Aikman. However, Aikman's skills didn't fit with running the option. My how times have changed at OU...from rushing for 400-500 yards a game to now passing for 400 yards a game.

17. Jamal Holloday

[theboss]

28. Hurricanes

It's plural. What is their mascot however?

[Awsi Dooger]

75. Miami's mascot is the Ibis

A big goofy bird. They changed the mascot uniform several years ago to make him look more menacing.

Damn, I knew the answers to these questions, but work kept me away until too late.

[GumboYaYa]

29. I think Miami is plural.

[VermontDem2004]

I should have been more specific.

Division 1-A schools with no S ending.

[GumboYaYa]

[RedEarth]

41. Way to go Vermont....football guru!!!!!

[VermontDem2004]

42. I am no guru

I had no idea what the answer was too your first two questions.

[VermontDem2004]

43. I am no guru

I had no idea what the answer was too your first two questions.

[GumboYaYa]

44. Okay, we need another question.

[VermontDem2004]

45. Ok

The longest run from scrimmage by a QB was done by who?

[GumboYaYa]

46. Eric Crouch ran one 90+ yards a few years ago.

That's the longest I remember, but I bet there is one close to 100 yards.

[VermontDem2004]

47. a hint

it was a 98 yard run.

[theboss]

48. Michael Vick?

I'm stumped.

[VermontDem2004]

49. No

[RedEarth]

50. Anymore hints????

[VermontDem2004]

51. He later played for the Steelers

He was a third string QB behind Bradshaw but played WR quite often. He even caught a 90 yard pass from Bradshaw in the NFL.

[RedEarth]

54. The Colorado quarterback and I cant think of his name

[VermontDem2004]

55. Kordell Stewart is the Colorado QB

you are probaly thinking about, but you are 20 years off. Stewart was never a backup to Bradshaw but Stewart did play a little bit of Wide Reciever in his pro career.

[RedEarth]

57. That's who I was thinking of...just 20 years off..lol

Gosh I'm at a loss of this one. Need to run some errands so I'll have to check back later to get the correct answer. Enjoyed it!!! I'll need to make my predictions for the weekend also. Take care.

Go Soooooners!!!!

[GumboYaYa]

56. Cliff Stoudt?????

[VermontDem2004]

59. Wrong

[RedEarth]

52. Jack Mildren

Wrong!!!

[VermontDem2004]

53. lol

wrong!

[VermontDem2004]

58. Give up?

[GumboYaYa]

60. No way there aren't that many Steeler quarterbacks that could run.

How about Joe Gillam?

[VermontDem2004]

62. Wrong

There is one, you want to give up so I can give the answer or do you want to keep guessing? He was a third string QB behind Bradshaw most of his career so you probaly never heard of him.

[GumboYaYa]

66. I give up.

[VermontDem2004]

67. Mark Malone

He ran for a 98 yard gain against Utah State.

[GumboYaYa]

70. On that note, I need to get back to work.

Have a great weekend guys and may your teams all win unless your team is Florida.

[VermontDem2004]

63. Wrong

There is one, you want to give up so I can give the answer or do you want to keep guessing? He was a third string QB behind Bradshaw most of his career so you probaly never heard of him.

[underpants]

61. Terry Hanratty?

I think that is how it is spelled. Hanratty was a "Domer".

I'm am torn between him and Cliff Stoudt.

[VermontDem2004]

64. both wrong

[VermontDem2004]

65. Another hint

He was an Arizona State QB, just shows you how much people know about my favorite school. :evilfrown:

[GumboYaYa]

68. Mark Malon.

I knew it had to be an ASU player, duhhh.

[VermontDem2004]

69. Correct!

You are a genious. Now it's your turn to ask a question.

[GumboYaYa]

71. Well I was going to try to get back to work, but I'll

think of one more.

[GumboYaYa]

72. In 1991 a coach at Florida was dismissed after the TN/FL

game for interfering in the game. Who was the coach and where is he now?

[VermontDem2004]

73. I have no idea

Steve Spurrier? Who now coaches the Redskins.

[GumboYaYa]

74. It was Ron Zook

who now coaches Florida, again. He was defensive coordinator in 91.
