OU had the most powerful offense in the nation when he was OC in '03 & '04. How he transformed Jason White is unheard of. Jason came to OU as a dual threat QB but he was mainly known for his feet and only an average passer. After suffering ACL tears in both knees, White had to depend solely on his arm. He put up monster passing numbers and won the Heisman. He hurt his arm prior to the Big 12 Championship and could hardly throw the ball in the game and in the NC game. The following season, they ran the table to the NC game. White came in 3rd for the Heisman as Adrian Peterson took a lot of his votes. Six straight turnovers and u$c hoisted the trophy in the NC game. Chuck was QB for lowa and the runner up to Bo Jackson for the Heisman in 1985.
