What happened after the cameras stopped rolling: Sandford attended the local state college, rushed Sigma Alpha Epsilon and became the quarterback of the fraternity's intramural team.
But poor decision-making led to a demoralizing six-year losing streak to the rival fraternity Lambda Chi Alpha. Cappie was the quarterback of his high school football team, but the leadership he showed in protecting Lucas impressed scouts the most. What happened after the cameras stopped rolling: Recruiters were initially scared off by his medical history, and he didn't land any big-time offers, but he was able to put together a solid career at Division III Illinois Wesleyan.
Williams was somewhat of an underachiever, but finally took Coach McGrath's teachings to heart and led his team to a city title over Prescott High School. What happened after the cameras stopped rolling: Recruiters were slow to recognize Williams. He never got many big-time offers, but he eventually did land a scholarship to UNLV, where he went on to be an All Big-West honorable mention. Walker was one of the most heavily recruited quarterbacks in Texas. The biggest knock on him was his commitment to football, thanks in part to his high-school girlfriend, Georgia.
What happened after the cameras stopped rolling: Walker ended things with Georgia and accepted a scholarship to play at Arkansas. But his size proved to be a liability that kept him from winning the starting job. He eventually transferred to UCLA but soon quit football after getting his new girlfriend pregnant.
He moved his family to Texas, where he landed a job in outside sales for an up-and-coming tech company. Greene was a highly sought-after prep star, to the point that a private school in New England ignored his religious affiliation to bring him in from Pennsylvania.
Greene showed great leadership and an uncanny ability to make unusual plays like throwing his blockers in front of himself. What happened after the cameras stopped rolling: Greene went on to Harvard, and though past experiences made him reluctant to play football again, he became the team's starting quarterback during his sophomore season. He did not go on to play in the NFL. Moxon had considerable strong arm strength, but lacked the commitment to be a highly sought-after football recruit.
What happened after the cameras stopped rolling: After escaping his father's shadow, Moxon realized he does love football and became a four-year starter at Brown. He played six seasons in the league.
Prior to his devastating knee injury, Harbor was the starting quarterback for West Canaan High School. He received offers from big-time schools and was at least a four- and probably a five- star recruit. What happened after the cameras stopped rolling: Harbor eventually recovered from knee surgery and went on to have a productive college career at Texas Tech after two years in junior college.
Hightower, who said he was pretty good for "around here," was a talented high school quarterback who lacked the size and arm strength for big-time college football.
It was the third overtime game of the season for each team. They both had split their first two. It was another agonizing loss for the Vikings , who have not dropped a game all season by more than seven points. Jackson threw for yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions.
He also ran for yards on 21 carries. Ryan passed for yards, connected twice with Olamide Zaccheaus for touchdowns, and the veteran quarterback also ran for a score on a bootleg. New Orleans then missed a 2-point conversion try for the second time in the game, leaving the door open for the Falcons to win with a field goal. The versatile running back beat rookie Paulson Adebo down the right sideline to give him six catches for yards on the day.
Even with top Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley unavailable while addressing mental health issues, Ryan completed 23 of 30 passes without a turnover. Siemian passed for yards and two touchdowns without an interception, and Hill completed both of his passes for 33 yards.
But both quarterbacks were hindered by a combination of penalties, dropped passes and protection breakdowns. The Browns came in desperate for a win after dropping three of four. Their situation turned dramatic on Wednesday when star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. The Browns put together their most complete game this season to humble the Bengals , who hurt themselves with mistakes as they dropped their second straight. Chubb also scored on a 1-yard run. AP — Xavier McKinney returned an interception 41 yards for a touchdown early in the second half and picked off another errant throw by Derek Carr late.
Filling in for the injured Saquon Barkley, former Raider Devontae Booker ran for 99 yards before leaving late with a hip injury.
Carr threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Renfrow for the Raiders , who are an NFL-worst after a week off over the last 19 years. The usually accurate quarterback also missed a wide-open Darren Waller for another score just before halftime as the Raiders settled for three short field goals by Daniel Carlson, who also missed a yarder in the second half. Carr, who was 30 of 46 for yards, drove Las Vegas to the Giants 13 in the final minutes.
On second-and, he was strip-sacked by Quincy Roche and Leonard Williams recovered to ice the game. As if spelling "Bronko" with a "K" wasn't enough, he had to go and have a last name like "Nagurski. Forget the Steve Smiths and Joe Flaccos of the modern era, Nagurski's name will go down in history, probably more for his achievements on the field, then for any merit of its own.
Cartwright, playing for Kansas State at the fullback position, was definitely aptly named. He is not to be confused, however, with Hoss Cartwright of "Bonanza," and there is no relation. In the long and storied history of Notre Dame, there is not a player or coach who contributed to their tradition than Rockne. He also led them to five undefeated seasons without a tie and five national championships. In an era of corruption and hypocrisy, his name should be synonomous with ball that is right with college football.
Some dislike him for his flamboyant style and arrogant attitude, but you must admit, the name is a great one for a running back. Pedro was a diminuitive speedster, standing only 5'8" and exercised his talents at West Texas State.
Preacher Pilot, so nicknamed by his grandmother, played for New Mexico State, who apparently actually won a few games back then. Both men had great names, and they actually met each other on the field a couple of times, as they fought for the nation's rushing title in If you wrote a book about a goofy looking kid from Texas who rises to lead the Longhorns to a national championship game, you couldn't pick a better name that Colt McCoy.
Of course, if the officials who changed the name of the Red River Shootout got ahold of him, his name might now be "Handshake" McCoy. The man was absolutely dominant for the Huskers, and while spearing quarterbacks is generally frowned upong by the NCAA, he made a regular practice of putting them on the ground.
He took a squad with an abysmal record and led them to over his three years at the helm. His name caught on with fans in Washington and has even been immortalized in the "Ballad of Sonny Sixkiller" and had a band named after him.
Short and to the point but hinting at the destruction he is about to unleash on opposing quarterbacks. Enjoy our content? Join our newsletter to get the latest in sports news delivered straight to your inbox!
