6. Mike Bobo (1994-97)

While many know Mike Bobo as the former offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach for the Georgia Bulldogs and the current head coach of the Colorado State Rams, Bobo was in the mid-1990s a terrific passer for the University of Georgia.

Bobo was a two-year starter for the Dawgs and was one of the university’s most prolific passers at the time of his graduation. He threw for well over 2,000 yards in both his junior and senior seasons playing Between the Hedges.

In 1997, Mike Bobo was arguably the best passer in the SEC. He led the SEC in passing efficiency (155.8) and passing yards per attempt (9.0). His senior season was one of the better seasons in UGA quarterbacking history. Bobo threw for 2,751 yards, completing 65% of his passes for 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

By the time he graduated from the University of Georgia, Bobo threw for 6,334 yards, 38 touchdowns, 26 interceptions, completing 57.9% of his passes for a quarterback rating of 136.8 in his UGA career. His ability to stretch the field and make the big plays as an undergrad helped him become one of the NCAA’s best offensive coordinators in the last decade and is now entering year two as a head coach in Division I with the Colorado State Rams.
