EBOOK PDF. Thanks for joining us in playing Set 003 of Match-Up College Football. This time, we will look at the 11 successful professional quarterbacks from small colleges. The word “small” doesn’t describe student population or city, as much as it describes the school’s perceived place in the college football landscape. This was a fun set to create, but we think it will be unique across the cards-and-dice gaming world. There are teams here from the FBS, FCS, Division II, and Division III. Please read and/or print the final page of this set for specific adjustments and instructions regarding how to play teams across the divisions.
1956 Occidental (Div III, Fmr HUD Secretary, presidential candidate, and Buffalo QB Jack Kemp joins Jim Mora Sr)
1963 Southern Illinois (FCS, Quarterback Jim Hart’s best season in Southern Illinois)
1968 Augustana (Div II, Before his pro stint in Cincinnati, QB Ken Anderson led this small college in Rock Island, IL)
1968 Louisiana Tech (FCS, Future champion and broadcaster Terry Bradshaw leads La Tech as an FCS school)
1976 San Jose State (FBS, Steve DeBerg helms the San Jose State offense through his best collegiate season)
1977 Morehead State (Div II, Phil Simms quarterbacks this struggling Division II team)
1980 Portland State (FCS, Neil Lomax was one of the nation’s best QBs in 1980, joined by WR Clint Didier)
1993 Northern Iowa (FCS, We all know how the Kurt Warner story peaks and ends; this is how it began)
1995 Louisiana-Lafayette (FBS, QB Jake Delhomme and WR Brandon Stokley lead La-Laf)
2002 Eastern Illinois (FCS, The FCS Player of the Year QB Tony Romo leads the EIU offense)
2014 North Dakota State (FCS, Carson Wentz QBs NDSU to their fourth consecutive national title)
We never promised these were all great teams. Some are, to be sure, and some are great on one side of the ball only. But football fans will recognize all the quarterbacks in this set and playing them will be fun. This also begins your collection of schools in smaller divisions. We know that it has been rare in college football gaming for you to have an opportunity to play quarterbacks such as Jack Kemp, Jim Hart, Ken Anderson, Terry Bradshaw, Phil Simms, Neil Lomax, Kurt Warner, and Tony Romo in college. We want you to have that opportunity and we look forward to seeing your results.
