Why are we looking at the greatest college football quarterbacks to play the game? Because on this day in 1990 the Houston Cougars beat the TCU Horned Frogs in the Astrodome 56-35. (Hope you took the over!). Cougar quarterback David Klingler threw 7 touchdown passes in the game. Horned Frogs quarterback Matt Vogler threw 5 touchdown passes and totaled 690 passing yards.
Obviously, this awesome game featured no defense whatsoever. But those two quarterbacks made their mark in one of the biggest offensive displays all-time. So, today on Craig Shemon and Company on ESPN Southwest Florida, we will quiz everyone on their knowledge of some of the greatest college football quarterbacks in recent memory.
