I am partial to JTO since he was the at the helm during my formidable undergrad years in Davis.

Bob Biggs of course. Davis was just another Far Western Conference team prior to Biggs playing days.
Bob Dunning:
The next year Biggs was pretty much the only quarterback the Aggies had, taking every snap and throwing every Aggie pass as he led the nation in passing on the way to a berth in the Boardwalk Bowl in Atlantic City.
Four times that season he threw for more than 300 yards, topped by a 399-yard performance against San Francisco State and 388 more against Massachusetts in the Boardwalk Bowl.

I’m going with Grant just because of the biggest win in program history at Stanford and the story of the game-winning drive and TD pass to Blaise Smith, but JTO would be there too for similar reasons as Finn.

Jim Speck - one of the older kids I looked up to throughout middle and high school. Best athlete I grew up with, severed his achilles in high school basketball (about ten feet from where I was sitting, I still remember that sound), never quite the same lightning foot speed, but still a great scrambling QB. Last game of his freshman year vs Boise State, epic performance, falling short at the end. First class person since 7th grade forward.

Bob Biggs - the Aggie hero when we were in high school. The season of the Miracle Game at Hayward (listened on KDVS), Boardwalk Bowl, wonderful memories. Got to know him when I matriculated, another first class guy over decades.

Mike Moroski - hated playing hoops against him, so quick for his size. Would just torch me over and over, with his sidekick/mouthpiece John Sharper talking smak on his behalf nonstop while Mo silently grinned that grin. Oh, great QB, excellent pitcher, another wonderful guy since the first day of practice his freshman year.

Like picking my favorite brother. Impossible. Great athletes, better men. Must be the water in Davis. Oh, Ken and the rest of those youngsters were pretty great too.

Great post!
