He passed for 7,618 yards in his career, the fourth-best figure in Pac-10 history at the time, throwing for more than 100 yards in his final 26 games. He is the U of A record-holder in career total offense and passing and has the top two season totals in those categories. His single-game total of 427 passing yards (21 of 28 for six touchdowns) in 1983 is the U of A school record and earned National Player of the Week honors. He led the Wildcats to several of their most memorable victories (UCLA in '80, USC in '81, Notre Dame and ASU in '82, and UCLA in '83) and in 1983 was honorable mention All American.
