Stephens is the only QB to lead the Minnesota Golden Gophers to the Rose Bowl (1961, 1962).

In 1960, the starter finished the season with an 8-1 record and a National Championship. Minnesota claimed victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes 27-10 in one of the biggest games in the duo's historic rivalry, a game where both teams entered undefeated.



Go Gophers!!
 

Regardless of everyone's opinions as to rankings. Stephens is in good company.
 

Stephens is in a class by himself above and beyond any of the other "15" players. He was college football's first black all american quarterback during a time when many black athletes are barred from playing for colleges throughout the south
that must have changed the hopes and dreams of thousands of kids
 

Stephens, Tebow, and Frazier blow the other 5 out of the water (Ihave Stephens 3rd of those three)

brees a distant 4th

The other 4 not even close
