Roger Staubach – 1963

Roger Staubach’s records do not translate well in this day and age. Still, he managed to redefine what it meant to be a QB. That year, he only made 128 passes out of 192 and seven touchdowns. The other people on the list could do this in one game. Also called Roger the Dodger, he had great scrambling skills and paved the way for more pocket scrambles in the future. He led the team to the National Championship Game, but they failed to stick the landing. Despite this, he was still the talk of the town.

Marcus Allen – 1981

Let us talk about Marcus Allen next. His team gave him the ball 477 times in 1981, his Heisman year. With these touches, he was able to bring home the coveted award. To this day, he holds the record for rushing more than 200-yard games with eight. In fact, his record of 212.9 rushing yards per game is also ranked number two! Even though USC lost to Arizona and Washington before the Fiesta Bowl, we can’t deny just how amazing a player this guy was.
