Surprising Shocking UM Passing Statistics and more

At least to me.....

No Miami Hurricanes QB has ever thrown 30 TDs in a season!!!! I had no idea and this was shocking to me. The record is 29 Pass TDs in the 1988 season by Steve Walsh.

I know @DMoney has mentioned this lately but the UM record for most passing yards in a season is 3,642 yards set in 1984 by Bernie Kosar. I was surprised that this record has been standing for nearly 40 years. Would be nice for Cam Ward to break both of these single season passing records this season.

With Xavier Restrepo taking aim at the career receptions record as well as the career receiving yards record this year I thought it would be interesting to pose the following question..........

Based on this WRs standing in the career receptions list, the career yardage list and where he stands on the career receiving TDs list who would you say is the most criminally underrated WR in Miami Hurricanes history? The answer is clear. This WR had an absolutely stellar career at UM but he is rarely mentioned when the subject of our all time great WRs comes up. Maybe it's because he never won a Championship. Who knows the answer? I'll give the answer in this thread if nobody beats me to it.

I’m guessing you’re talking about Coley. He’s never mentioned as a top UM WR, but I’m pretty sure he’s top 5 in a couple categories.
 
Reggie Wayne for me. Never won a championship, didn’t have elite speed, just got open and caught the ball.

X will get mentioned when his years are done and he is producing on Sundays.

Stacy Coley is exactly right!

Coley is #3 in career receptions with 166
Coley is #5 in career yards with 2,218
Coley is tied for 4th with 20 career TD receptions with Reggie Wayne and Andre Johnson.

No. Reggie Wayne is always rightfully mentioned as one of our all time greats. The Wayne and Moss tandem will go down as one of the best of all time!

Amazing numbers for a guy who couldn't stay on the field for 3 consecutive plays without getting banged up.

I think people set wild expectations for him coming out of HS. When he didn’t break every record they called him a bust. He definitely set the record for most times hobbling off the field though. Coley was a good college WR.

And regardless of all that hobbling the career he had can't be argued or taken away from him. Amazing what may have been if he could have been less injury prone. Phenomenal talent.

If that's a bust then I want to order a few more lol!
 
Yet so many haters and "fans" continually pushed the silly narrative that Cristobal was a QB killing caveman who barely accepted the forward pass as a part of his offense.

Back in the day, they hit the QB almost every play.. now you can't breathe on them. WRs got decapitated Tamarick Vanover style ...
.. different game, kinda like the trying to compare the NBA teams from yesteryear.

Absolutely true but my surprise stems from exactly the point you're making. You would think that those records would have fallen in this modern era of glorified Flag football/CFL/Video game type of offensive output. I think it's a referendum on how behind the times UM has been offensively.
