Kentucky football: Top 10 passing leaders in school history

2. Andre Woodson

Passing stats: 9,360 yards, 79 TD, 25 INT

Unlike Couch, Woodson did have three years as the starter and even attempted 88 passes as a freshman. While Woodson doesn’t measure up to Couch in the grand scheme of things, his three seasons as the starter were still spectacular. They were marked by back-to-back 8-5 finishes, which alone is a testament to Woodson’s leadership.

After a so-so sophomore season, Woodson more than doubled his passing yards from 1,644 in 2005 to 3,515 in 2006. His touchdowns rose from 6 to 31 and his interceptions only went up from 6 to 7. It’s arguably one of the greatest rises to stardom in college football history, let alone at Kentucky.

Woodson had another successful senior season, passing for 3,709 yards, and setting a school record with 40 touchdowns. That also helped him make 79 passing TDs for his career, also a program record.

Woodson brought two things to Kentucky football – winning and a lot of yards. Couch might be more of an all-time legend, but Woodson should not be overlooked.
