Interesting fact about Oregon QBs

[TheRedPlectrum]

Even if most of them were backups, this is still pretty amazing:

"Since the St. Louis Rams called upon Kellen Clemens the past two weeks to fill in for an injured Sam Bradford, the Ducks have now had an alum throw a pass in the NFL in every year since 1949.

"Oregon’s streak of 65 consecutive seasons of having an alum throw a pass in the NFL is by far the longest current streak by any school. The Washington Huskies are second, with 30 consecutive years. Notre Dame had it’s own impressive streak of 67, but that was ended in 2011 when neither Jimmy Clausen nor Brady Quinn threw a pass."

Holy crap, what a stat. I love those obscure facts. I would have thought Mamba would have already had that in one of his famous spiral notebooks. Right next to the one with all the detailed stats from my domination of him on XBOX baseball.

yeah, but how many of those throws were pick 6's???

 

[Olyduck]

your title is wrong. it isnt about Oregon QB's but rather Oregon Alum. there were a couple seasons where it was a RB who threw at least 1 pass to hold the streak alive.
