أي 10 لاعبين لديهم أكثر ساحات المباراة في تاريخ FBS؟

We could go on and on about the best quarterbacks in college football history and where they rank among their peers.

One could do the same for the best individual quarterback performances, too.

But how about a strictly statistical ranking of signal-callers with the most passing yards in a single game? 

FOX Sports Research did just that, compiling the list of players who top all the rest.

10 Players With The Most Single-Game Passing Yards in FBS History

10. Utah QB Scott Mitchell: 631 (1988)

On an October day in Salt Lake City in 1988, Mitchell was a menace for the Utes against Air Force. He completed 36 of 60 passes and averaged 17.5 yards per completion, as the Utah signal-caller threw for 631 yards and five touchdowns. Unfortunately for Utah, Mitchell’s heroics came in a losing effort, as the Falcons downed the Utes, 56-49.

9. Idaho QB Brian Lindren: 637 (2001)

Lindgren went off against Middle Tennessee in 2001. The Vandals’ quarterback threw for 637 yards and five touchdowns, while completing 69.0% of his passes. Idaho’s problem? Middle Tennessee quarterback Wes Counts posted a 290.6 passer rating, and the Blue Raiders dropped 70 points en route to beating Idaho by double digits.

8. Texas Tech QB Cody Hodges: 643 (2005)

The Red Raiders got the offense rolling in the second quarter and cruised to a 59-20 victory over Kansas State in their 2005 matchup. Hodges was the superstar of the week, totaling 643 passing yards, five passing touchdowns and a 170.0 passer rating, while completing 67.7% of his passes. 

7. Texas Tech QB Graham Harrell: 646 (2007)

Texas Tech and Oklahoma State teamed up for an offensive bout of epic proportions in 2007 and did so in polar opposite ways. For the Red Raiders, Harrell threw for 646 yards and five touchdowns, with wide receivers Michael Crabtree and Danny Amendola combining for 28 receptions for 470 yards and four touchdowns. Texas Tech’s problem? Oklahoma State had three players rush for 100-plus yards en route to a 49-45 victory. 

When a quarterback throws for 581 yards, like Baylor‘s Nick Florence did, it should be enough to get the win. That wasn’t the case on a September 2012 day in Morgantown, though, as Smith totaled 656 yards, eight passing scores and a 248.0 passer rating, while completing 88.2% of his passes for the Mountaineers. West Virginia won, 70-63.

5. Texas Tech QB B.J. Symons: 661 (2003)

Texas Tech got an out-of-conference win over Ole Miss in a highly competitive September 2003 matchup. Most notably, Symons threw for 661 yards and six touchdowns, while posting a 183.3 passer rating and completing 68.8% of his passes. He also rushed for another score, helping the Red Raiders get a 49-45 road victory.

4. TCU QB Matt Vogler: 690 (1990)

Vogler and the Horned Frogs were on the losing end of a 1990 matchup against an undefeated Houston team, 56-35, but TCU’s quarterback tore the Cougars’ defense to smithereens. Vogler, who was making just his second career collegiate start, threw for 690 yards and five touchdowns.

3. Houston QB David Klingler: 716 (1990)

Klinger and the Cougars had an eventful, 62-45 road win over Arizona State in their final game of the 1990 season. Why mention the Houston quarterback? Well, he threw for 716 yards and seven touchdowns, leading the Cougars to their 10th win of the season. Kingler finished fifth in the 1990 Heisman Trophy voting.

T-1. Washington State QB Connor Halliday: 734 (2014)

Imagine throwing for 734 yards and your team loses by one point. That’s what happened to Halliday in 2014, as Washington lost at home to Cal, 60-59. He threw for 734 yards and six touchdowns, posted a 186.4 passer rating and completed 70.0% of his passes. To boot, Washington State had a two-score lead in the third quarter. 

If you spent your college days in Lubbock, Texas, there is a 40% chance that you end up on this list. In one of the most chaotic games in the history of college football, Oklahoma got a 66-59 road victory over Texas Tech in 2016. Mahomes threw for 734 yards and five touchdowns. He did so while completing 52 of 88 passes (59.1%) and also rushing for 85 yards and two touchdowns. By the way, the quarterback of the other team, Baker Mayfield, threw for a measly 545 yards and seven touchdowns, while posting a 266.3 passer rating and completing 75.0% of his passes.
