Bradford led the nation in passing efficiancy while leading the Sooners to the BIG XII title last season. He threw for 3,121 yards, completing 69 percent of his passes and throwing 36 touchdown passes, breaking the national freshman record.

Apparently being one of only three players in the nation to throw for 2,800 yards and rush for 800 wasn’t enough to get Oklahoma State quarterback Zac Robinson on the list alongside Notre Dame’s Jimmy Clausen, Rice’s Chase Clement. USC’s Mark Sanchez and Florida State’s Drew Wearherford just to name a few. 

Just for fun, let’s compare Robinson’s 2008 stats to these four signal callers

 

Robinson      201-333 2,824 yds 23 TD’s 9 INT’s, 140 carries for 847 yards and 9 TD’s, 5 sacks

Clausen        138-245 1,254 yds  7 TD’s   6 INT’s, 62 carries for -187 yards and 2 TD’s, 34 sacks

Clement       who cares he plays for Rice

Sanchez        69-114   695   yds    7 TD’s  5 INT’s,    14 carries for 22 yards and 0 TD’s,  4 sacks,     

Weatherford 181-318  2049 yds    9 TD’s  3 INT’s,    62 carries for 122 yards and 3 TD’s, 17 sacks

Ok, so that wasn’t very much fun, it was actually kind of tedious, but you get the point. Those guys suck, Robinson doesn’t, he should be on the list.
