The only QB's who could be considered purely "bad"
Eric Chappell - 0 for 4, couldn't complete a pass against a suspect USC defense. Jarious Jackson was injured due to that boneheaded play when taking an intentional safety against LSU.
The loss to USC meant we lost our opportunity to get to a Bowl Coalition game and had to settle for the Gator Bowl, where Jackson was playing scared for the entire first half and part of 3Q.
Yes, Arnaz Battle, Gary Godsey, and Matt Lovecchio didn't exactly do a great job overall, but they moved the ball downfield, and with the exception of Battle's game against Nebraska (broke his wrist against TAMU the week before), they did produce results.
I'm actually a bit leery of putting Lovecchio up there, since he did a fine job in 2000, and without him, we wouldn't have made it to the Fiesta Bowl, but he did lose his mojo in 2001.
Powlus could complete downfield passes
