I remember Hollingsworth's 1989 season being better than that.  That list just reminds me that we haven't had a star QB in forever.

So why haven't we had a star QB since forever?  I can't quite figure that out.

[Coach Hank Crisp]

Hollingsworth played good. He threw out of the shotgun to Marco Battle. Syran Stacy in backfield.

I think Hollingsworth had broken a leg in off season and came back for a great senior year.

Does anyone remember?

My theory is that we don't normally ask the QB to do a whole lot.  We win with solid D and a basic smash mouth, ram it down your throat offense.  Star QBs these days want to throw the ball on every play and be the center of attention.  That just doesn't happen at Bama so they go to other places where they can get their chance.  They want to showcase their skills in the hopes of making it to the NFL, which is perfectly understandable.

I do not remember whether or not he broke his leg, but I remember his senior year as being a bit of a let down.  1989 was his best year (and his junior year).  You may be on to something there if he was coming off a broken leg, but he also switched from a Homer Smith offense to a conservative Stallings/Moore offense.

Why is Jeff Dunn not on this list? Oh yeah. Right.
