9. Oregon
The Flag-Bearer – Dan Fouts
The Ensemble – Chris Miller, Bill Musgrave, Dennis Dixon, Joey Harrington, Akili Smith, Danny O’Neil, Tony Graziani, Kellen Clemens and A.J. Feeley
Like much of the Pac-10, Oregon has never had trouble developing quality quarterbacks. It all began with Fouts, the All-Pac 8 player who went on to a Hall of Fame career with the San Diego Chargers. Miller, Harrington and Smith each had all-conference seasons prior to getting selected in the first round of the NFL draft, and Dixon likely would've won the Heisman had he not blown out his knee. Smith bombed, but Miller threw 123 touchdown passes in an injury-plagued career and Harrington, while a disappointment, hung around the league.
Musgrave may be the most underrated of the prominent Oregon quarterbacks. He was a four-year starter and three-year captain of the Ducks. He closed his career as the program’s all-time leading passer, while setting 15 school records. At the time of his graduation, Musgrave’s 60 touchdown passes ranked him No. 2 in Pac-10 history behind John Elway.
