Although Lamar Jackson won last year on a 9-4 team over Deshaun Watson on the national champion.

Can we throw in Guy Benjamin, sixth in 1977 Hiesman voting?  He was my favorite QB for a long time.  He did, after all, get 14 first place votes!

And I feel a bit bad for 1978 national passing champion Steve Dils.  He didn't crack the Top 10 in the Hiesman voting, but quarterbacks Chuck Fusina, Rick Leach, Steve Fuller and Jack Thompson all did.  Fusina won the Maxwell award, Dils won the Sammy Baugh award. None of them except Leach led the nation in any major QB category (Leach was "TDs responsible for" - okay).  Dils led the nation in TDs, Completions, Attempts, total plays, completion percentage and was second in yards.  And Stanford finished 8-4, ranked 17th in the country (and fifth in the conference). 

Fusina won the All America, Thompson was the third pick in the draft, Leach won the second most prominent All American roles.  #4 and #5 were Dils and Fuller.

Dils played the most games of the five in the NFL (106), followed by Fuller (90), thompson (41), Fusina (14) and Leach (0).  Of course the best two quarterbacks in that class were Montana and Simms.  Still -- soft spot for Dils.

From a marketing spin standpoint, I'd say he increased the number of rushing TDs UW gave up by 100% (3->6, unless I've read things wrong, which is entirely likely).  :P

Another awesome stat is that we were 10 for 18 on 3rd downs and 1 for 1 on 4th down.  Now that's getting it done offensively. And, that was again one of the top Ds in the nation.

Well, not just one of the top defenses in the nation -- one of the top defenses in the Pac-12 ever, apparently:

Quote:Washington is on pace to finish as the Pac-12’s best defense in a decade. Pete Carroll’s USC defense allowed 221.8 yards per game in 2008.

Yes, our third and fourth down conversion rate was key to the offense.  Moreover, a lot of those third downs were of the third and seven or third and eight variety, so not high probability conversions.  That we were able to convert them was a testament mostly to Costello, who mostly found the right guy in the right place and made the right throw.  Kudos too to the OL for largely keeping his pocket clean.
