Mark, thanks for the post. And well played on the Paul Pinegar reference! I actually saw Pinegar play a couple of times in the WAC when I was working in Monroe, LA and covering Louisiana Tech.

Billy Volek is another Fresno State grad.

If you're talking 40 years, I'd have to say this list is okay. When you think about it, in college football 40 years can mean somewhere between 10 and 40 quarterbacks. BYU has produced heisman winners, and record setting qbs (Detmer, McMahon, Young) Fresno State before Dilfer had a guy named Kevin Sweeney who set the NCAA passing record. Paul Pinegar won 3 bowl games (lost his senior year)after Carr left. UH also had guys like Timmy Chang and Colt Brennan who destroyed record books. As for Georgia, usually you think RB's and defense. Sure Stafford was exceptional, but outside the SEC I don't think the others you mentioned are remembered that well. Give Tech a couple more decades and I'm sure they'll have a shot at the next list.
