Seriously our defense was so bad that if he had a TFL on an INT return, he may have led the team
Actually his first year they were not as bad as Kerrigans last year
Not him. He neither started as a QB nor saw the field much as a LB.

I am beginning to think this is a trick question. Could QB mean Quickbooks (the player also kept a snack fund?) Could TFL mean Total Fajita Lunches?
I have no idea, but I a quite sure that this occurred during the height of the Dark Ages, when good players where scarce enough that it's conceivable a player played both ways. In this case, my assumption is that a defensive player (prolly a LB, maybe a safety) got forced into starting at QB for a game due to injury.
Maybe that person ‘started’ the game as a QB in the Wildcat formation. Hudhaifa Ismaeli?
Pat Geegan?
Here’s another piece of trivia. Which NU player lead the team in total receiving yards without scoring a single TD? 1971 forward. No peeking.

Edwards had 83 catches without a receiving touchdown. (Of course he scored running the ball.) Far more remarkable than Roger Jordan's 31 receptions without a TD in "the year we completely lost confidence in Brett Basanez' arm."
Capstran wore #11 and was a big boy out of Wisconsin, if my memory serves correctly. He was a Southpaw who had a lot of zip, like Booby Douglass from the Bears. Of course the talent offensively was poor in those days, especially the OLine. Capstran was a tough DLineman for a kid who was a QB.
Going out on a limb with Jim Browne in '81.Led the team in rushing and receiving.He later transfered to Boston College for his final two years.
I have wittled it down to either RB Kenny Watkins or TE Chris Hinton. Bogan was our fleet footed WR, so it can't be him. Then he played Baseball. I'll go with Hinton being a TE. What say you?
My memory is clouded by age (now) and alcohol (then), didn't Edwards return a free kick for a TD against Minnesota in a steady rain under portable lights? I have a mental picture of the eerie shadows on the field. Puddling water because of our crappy turf. And we won.
We have a winner. From a forgettable TE to an All Everything OT in the span of a year.

Edwards scored on the ground but never in his 83 receptions in '83.
I was at that game. It rained so hard my high school letter jacket colors bled. Eerie is a good word. Goalposts!
