UNI's Sanders could be most accurate passer in Histiory

[Slammer50111]

His career completion rate of 68.6 percent places him on target to finish his purple and gold days as the most accurate passer in the history of the Football Championship Subdivision, formerly known as Division I-AA.

Dave Dickenson of Montana completed 67.3 percent of his passes from 1992-95.

Sanders also leads all 200 players nationally listed in the most recent NCAA passing efficiency ratings — including Oklahoma's Sam Bradford (79.73%), Hawaii's Colt Brennan (77.44), Texas Tech's Graham Harrell (75.0) and Florida's Tim Tebow (73.77).

Dome or no dome, ES has been on target for a while now. Looking very good.

Sanders' passing for each game this season
Opponent C-A Pct.
Minnesota State 24-31 77.42%
Iowa State 23-29 79.31%
South Dakota State 27-32 84.37%
Total 74-92 80.43%

Wonder why his Pct. went up playing away games and both of those outside. Must be wind helping the ball into his receivers hands. :D

Ricky Santos at 67.6 which would also pass Dickenson. If Santos maintains his percentage thus far this season of 73.8 and calculated based on attempts from last season 432, which is similar to his previous years 425 and 429 he would finish up at 68.9

Ahhhh..........yes, the benefits of playing in the fabulous UNI-Dome!!

Of course, all teams are welcome to build domes if they feel it gives such a significant advantage to QB accuracy ratings.

Then why isn't NAU's or NDSU's QB in the list of top five?

I thought you were going to offer to host all games against UNI at the UNI-Dome in order to help your competition's passer ratings! xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

What would it be if you could count his INTs as catches?
:D

[DuckDuckGriz]

That's very impressive. Especially against an FBS opponent like Iowa State which has alot more defensive team speed. We'll see how it pans out the rest of the season. I don't know if it will be as good come conference time, but Super Dave's record has to be broken some time.

Ignore the resident "Rain on your parade" Hen posters

Didn't think of it, but it sounds like a good idea!!!!

[Chi Panther]

He's pretty good.

Whats great is that he's a team first guy.xbowx Some kids say it......but don't always mean it.

[douglasdmb]

Wasn't he a walk-on?

It should be interesting to see if he gets picked up by an NFL team this coming summer.

At 6'1' 200 lbs, probably not.

by season end xsmiley_wix

There has only been 3 or 4 passes this year that Walker has thrown off target. We've had some drops and some deflections turned into INT's. Looks like they are starting to hold onto the ball a little better now.

vs. SFA 12-18
vs. SHSU 18-26

I don't believe the dome has anything to do with it though. Which is exactly your point xthumbsupx

:D

It would jump a whole 2% as he has 19 career INT's in 3+ years compared to 56 TD throws. 19 INT's in 803 attempts. He may not have the big play deep threats this year, but he's got a wide variety of options including a 6'7" TE with WR speed.
