Top Ten College Programs for a QB
10. Tennessee
Tennessee has had a fantastic mix of superstars and steady role players over the years. Obviously Peyton Manning is the superstar of the bunch, but there were other great quarterbacks that somehow have been forgotten about by most college football fans. Tee Martin won a national title, Casey Clausen was a great four-year rock of a starter, and Heath Shuler was one of the school's most dynamic players.
Tennessee's five greatest quarterbacks
1) Peyton Manning - The standard for all SEC quarterbacks, Manning finished his career with 11,201 yards and 89 touchdowns and a second-place finish in the 1997 Heisman. However, he'll also always be remembered for not beating Florida and only winning one SEC title with some of the most talented teams in college football.
2) Tee Martin - It was his steady leadership and clutch play that led the Vols to the 1998 national title. His stats weren't bad finishing his career with 4,592 yards and 32 touchdowns.
3) Casey Clausen - The Iceman had one of the better unheralded careers in recent college football history starting for four years finishing with 9,707 yards and 75 touchdown passes.
4) Andy Kelly - He was a strong passer for three years setting most of the Tennessee passing records until Manning came in and blew them all away. He led the Vols to a tremendous 11-1 season in 1989.
5) Heath Shuler - The Tennessee golden boy before Peyton Manning arrived, Shuler put up two fantastic years in 1992 and 1993 before making the mistake of jumping early for the NFL.
