BEST SMU QB PRE DP

[bubba pony]

Has any QB in college football every won as many games as Lance? You have to go with him.

Not to take away from Lance, He was probably the best collegiate option QB to ever play the game. However, he did have the best OL and running backs money could buy.

indeed, he pitched the ball to perhaps the greatest running back in collegiate football.

best quarterback is daddy don, backed it up with a great pro career

[Arkpony]

Dandy Don by far.

When I was in high school, I worked at his gas station in Lakewood. That was when self service pumps were illegal in Texas.

Yes, I am old.

I have seen them all and if Benners had the receivers that SMU has had in the last 8 years or so not one pro style qb in football could touch him.

Fred Benners -

On October 13, 1951, SMU beat Notre Dame University 27-20 in a rare nationally televised game, powered by Benners' historic performance, as he hit on 22 passes in 44 attempts for 326 yards and four touchdowns. “No one could have been more adroit in picking the spot for a super-duper performance,” wrote the New York Times.[1]

He had plenty of gams like this during his career.

It's difficult to overlook Don Meredith's career at SMU; in 1959, he finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, after completing 105 of 181 passes for 1,266 yards, with 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions (college quarterbacks threw a lot more interceptions back then). Dandy Don also finished ninth in the Heisman voting in his junior year.

Running back Billy Cannon of LSU finished first and Penn State quarterback Richie Lucas was runner-up for the 1959 award. Lucas was a first-round draft choice in both the NFL and AFL drafts, signing with the Buffalo Bills, where he failed to distinguish himself in two seasons, prior to retiring.

"Get the Old Man in here".....

Gil and Benners were excellent...

[Boston Pony]

Bobby Wilson & Mac White should be in the running

Keith Bobo

His brother, and my brother camped out in my dorm room the night before Keith's breakout
game when he went in as QB against NMSU in the second half to blow the game wide open

He was the starter during the rest of a 7-4 year

Because Hayden Fry was fired just before the last game against TCU by a bunch of JJ like
haters pressuring the first year SMU president Hardin, we weren't invited to a bowl game.

Hardin was fired not too long within the year after that
