John Bond is definitely an oddity...

most college fans, even of that day, wouldn't be able to tell you who the Miss State QB was.

To an LSU fan, the guy was scarier than most Heisman and HoF qbs.

To the OP, as a Bama fan you really need to edit your list and add Terry Davis and Steadman Shealy.

Beyond those two, John Bond (hurts just typing that name).

As I stated earlier, DeAndre is the GOAT Option QB. The things he did, and when he went for 400 yds passing against Tulsa, were crazy.

Again, I am biased, though, for certain reasons.

Thomas was better than Quinn; most of the OL from that era say it. They hated Quinn for some reason.

I'm 64 years old and can still see that big sob ( Bond) keeping the pitch off LT and running 20 yds down field. Couldn't stop him.

Nick Marshall is better than 90% of those as far as the option goes


He was a master of that
