Kellen Moore Passes Peyton Manning for 4th All-Time

Kellen Moore came into the 2011 season ranked sixth in college football history for wins by a quarterback.  The cool, calm Bronco leader was 38-2 and tied with Ken Dorsey of Miami of Florida.


With a season opening 35-21 win over #19 Georgia, Moore has now passed Peyton Manning of Tennessee for #4.  Manning also was victorious in 39 wins as a starting quarterback for the Vols, but he lost six games.  If Moore is fortunate to be able to climb another rung in the ladder, it will be a while.  David Greene of Georgia was 42-10 from 2001-2004.  Colt McCoy of Texas holds the NCAA record with a sterling 45-8 mark from 2006-2009 while Andy Dalton of TCU is second, posting a 42-7 record.


Here is the Top 10:



1.  Colt McCoy of Texas was 45-8 from 2006-2009.
2.  Andy Dalton of TCU was 42-7 from 2007-2010.*
