- Rex Grossman's sophomore season at the University of Florida was one of the greatest seasons a quarterback has ever had. www.sports-refe...
Grossman passed for over 300 yards in nine consecutive games. He led the nation in passing efficiency, passing completion percentage and yards per attempt. A consensus All-American, Rex was voted the AP Player of the Year and came in second in the Heisman voting. At the time his 55 TD passes through his sophomore season were the most in NCAA history.

Grossman should have won the Heisman that year.
He got robbed. Crouch had a very unspectacular year, but backed into the title game after they got blasted by Colorado. That was back when they simply didn't give Heismans to sophomores. Such a shame.
Florida lost 2 games by 5 points! Auburn 23 Florida 20, Tennessee 34 Florida 32.
Grossman was the best QB Florida has ever had. He was a legit talent, not noodle armed like Palmer and Johnson, undersized like Leak, or a gimmick like Tebow. Crouch won the Heisman because of the plays against Missouri and Oklahoma. All Rex had to do was beat Tennessee, and he had it AND they would have gotten to play Miami for a championship.
@@RobbieStacks90 idk man Danny was amazing
@@RobbieStacks90 Doug Johnson definitely had a strong arm. Go back and look at some of those games
Easily the best pure passer the Gators have ever had. Underrated then, underrated now.
Danny Wuerful
@@Freshy_Jones Not even close.
@@Freshy_Jones Weurful had great touch and processed information quickly, but he had an average at best arm.
@@Freshy_JonesRex was way more talented. In 2001 Florida should’ve played Miami for the championship. They lost that postponed Tennessee game that kept them out of it. But they were so good
Rex Grossman and Danny Wuerffel will always be my favorite Gator QBs
How does Kyle fit in there?
grossman was never the same after breaking his ankle on the bears imho. his mobility loss made him more one dimensional.
This is back when the Gators had the best wide receivers in the nation, hands down. Nobody was close when it came to consistency..... I miss these days. But hey, rebuilding for next season. GO GATORS!!!!
I remember that season, had a 10 game streak of 300 passing yards or more. Truly a great qb
@knoeful This 2001 Florida team was the best two loss team in the history of college football. I'm a South Carolina fan, and we were a good team in '01 and Florida absolutely destroyed us in our house in front of 85,000 rabid fans. I'm not sure this wasn't Spurrier's best Florida team, even better than the 1996 version.
Spurrier said it was his best team, but I'm not sure they beat Miami that year. If good Rex showed up, it would have been an epic game.
@bull864 I remember that "Black Out" night in Columbia, such excitement when the Gamecocks took the lead but it didn't turn out the way the home-folks intended as the Gators scored on something like nine straight possessions. The 2001 Florida team sure was fun. I've continued to be a Spurrier fan.
@flashbang11 Actually, that year Florida lost to Auburn in a tropical storm and somehow lost to Tennessee. They were every bit as good as Miami, and I don't think Clarett arrived at OSU until 2002.
Most people don't mention that Grossman got 300+ yards every game but only played more than two quarters in 2 games.
this was Johnny Manziel before Johnny Football
Rex wasn't an option qb. He was more like a Tony Romo type
Ben Troupe was THE BEST TE at florida!!!
Kyle Pitts is now haha
@@MCLogikILL for sure.
Miss you in the orange and blue Rex
3:06 it's amazing what an accurate QB can do for your team. A lot of guys could get the ball there on that play but WR would have to adjust resulting in the safety making a tackle. Grossman hits him in perfect stride which lets him burn the safety
I miss this offense. it was a joy to watch. Now we are very boring on offense :(
@bull864 You're right, Miami beat Nebraska & Eric Crouch in the 2001 championship game at the Rose Bowl. In both of their losses that year the Gators were without running back Ernest Graham. Nebraska, like Alabama this year, played in the national championship game without having played in their conference championship game.
I remember the Tennessee game got pushed back because of 9/11. It was a heart breaking loss
Happy 34th birthday Rex.
Amazing
Biggest Heisman Heist in the history of The Heisman...
Spurrier leaving had nothing to do with inability to win at Florida, albeit with the most talented roster he ever had. It had much more to do with his toxic relationship with Jeremy Foley, which went completely under the radar. Foley would never stand up for the OBC when the latter needed him to.
Spurrier deserved better
Is it just me or is the TD at 2:32 insane?
Ummmm...why....just a blown coverage and dude was wide open.....ur stupid
+Adam McDonald That pass went 52 yards through the air plus another 16 on the ground. Throwing that accurately across half the length of the field seems pretty impressive to me.
in the video rex grossman is the best quarterback in florida from 1999- 2003 almost the best quarterback before tim tebow in florida.
and now... he's the best nfl qb
If it wouldn't have been for 911 and having to reschedule our game against Tennessee for the end of the 2001 season, I'm positive we would've played for the national, and if Spurrier would've came back for 2002 season same thing. Lol ughhhhh
I'm glad you have your priorities straight
rex grossman, the funky grossman
Where was this that eagles game?
Why were we wearing white at home? I cant ever remember that happening before. Was it because the other team was wearing dark colored uniforms and it was hotter than hell usually in the Swamp in the second game of the year?
I'm half way threw of this Dan Marino looking shit and buddy I tell you what," if Rex the wild thing Grossman showed this in the big time.... shiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttt!!!!!!!!!
not even he would be ranked in like the 400-500's of qbs of all time and second to last in the league now
I can see blaine gabbert being like rex grossman.The only difference is gabbert drops under pressure grossman throws more picks lol
