Fans of Faux Pelini may remember Riley O’Toole’s game against Nebraska. Those tweets may be the most memorable part of this cluster. With an average completion rate of just 54% and fewer than one TD throw per game, these quarterbacks would make little impact on the field.
Close Fits: 2006 Matt Stafford; 2006 Joe Dailey
Distant Fits: 2006, 2007, 2009 Juice Williams; 2007 Jimmy Clausen
