Nursing a sprained thumb, Lorenzen found 11 different receivers, including touchdown passes of 86 and 75 yards as well as a completion of 89 yards. Listed at 6-foot-4 and 285 pounds, Lorenzen introduced himself to the SEC and the nation in a big way in a 34-30 loss to Georgia. The team also scored 52, 54 and 41 points in its first three wins. The statistical pinnacle came against Southern Miss in a 54-24 win, but Goff had shattered the single-season school passing records after just eight games. On the heels of run-first teams led by Herschel Walker, Tim Worley, Rodney Hampton and Garrison Hurst, former UGA quarterback and then-head coach Ray Goff turned Zeier loose during the 1993 season.
Zeier may be fifth in SEC history in terms of career passing yards, but no SEC quarterback has thrown for more yards in a single game. There’s one big large humongous reason for UK to celebrate this list. Wildcats fans can’t be too upset, though. That’s a feat recent Heisman winners Tim Tebow, Cam Newton and Johnny Manziel never achieved. Just six players ever have broken that threshold as a passer in a single game. Peyton Manning (492 yards) and Eric Zeier (485 yards) appear on that list twice.Īlas, this story is about the conference’s 500-yard club. But the former Kentucky standout must’ve been slightly frustrated in 1998, when he threw for 499, 498 and 492 yards in separate games.Ĭouch deserves mention, though, as he’s the only other player on the SEC’s all-time Top 10 list.
Tim Couch is crying on his … OK, I’ll stay away from the terrible pun.
