B.J. Symons was a record-setting Texas Tech rocket arm in 2003
In the 2003 season, B.J. Symons exploded for 5,833 passing yards and 52 touchdown passes, winning the Sammy Baugh Trophy and the Chevrolet National Offensive Player of the Year award[5][6]. His calling card was absurd volume plus big-play efficiency—he averaged 448.7 passing yards per game and helped Texas Tech lead the nation in passing and total offense[5][6]. The catch: he played that legendary run while dealing with a torn ligament in his left knee for more than two months, which makes the production even more jaw-dropping[14].
