Here’s the main reason Harrell deserves induction… he holds eight individual NCAA records including:

  • Most passes completed in a season – 512
  • Most passes completed per game/season (avg) – 39.4
  • Most passes completed per game/career (avg) – 31.2
  • Most games with over 400 yards passing in a season – 11
  • Most games with over 400 yards passing in a career – 20
  • Most yards gained against one opponent/career (avg) – 486 (vs. Texas)
  • Most seasons gaining 4000 or more yards of total offense – 3
  • Most games with over 400 yards of total offense in a career – 21

He is Captain Air Raid. And he deserves to be in the College Football Hall of Fame… he’s already all over their record books.
