Columbia’s steady QB touchstone from a record-setting era
Jeff McCall was a poised, field-reading Columbia quarterback whose best selling point was efficiency under pressure; in the 1999 season he threw for 817 yards and 7 touchdowns, then kept climbing to 1,614 yards and 13 touchdowns in the 2000 season and 1,819 yards in 2001. He wasn’t a pure scramble artist, but he managed the offense with composure and enough arm talent to attack downfield, making him the kind of QB coaches trust. If you want a calm operator who can run a structured passing game, McCall fits.
