That in mind, I would replace Lance with Hixson and name Lance as the MVP QB. He stands above all in the wins record book but was not a traditional style QB.
totally agree. also lance handed the ball to the pony express. that would made many QB looks better than what they were. just saying.

Mac White - just a plain ol' championship QB - but since we haven't got many 1st place finishes, I thought his name ought to appear in this thread.

Seems like Mike Livingston only started 1 year at QB in between Mac White, and Chuck Hixson.
It was Fall 67, and we only went 3 - 7 I think.
Would substitute Chunkin Chuck for Mike.

Yup, took over for Mike because of injury, and made my little baby brother start crying because
we were yelling so loud at the TV. Beat A&M in last seconds
A pass to Levias either set up a
TD or scored one.
According to a McClanahan cartoon in the DMN on Monday morning, Inez was doing good to see
over a blade of grass.

Hey DMN, he was the all-time winningest quarterback in SWC history.
When you think about the incredible history of the SWC, it really is an amazing accomplishment McIlhenny is winninger than all of the other QBs.

lance had 4 varsity years, a lot of the aforementioned only allowed to play 3 years varsity. add another 25% statistics to the pre 4 year allowed to play and the list would be different.

lance was a great option qb and he also had the best team smu ever fielded-as least in the modern era.

Care to elaborate on this Mrydel?
Can you provide your list #1 to #5?
