FSU football career passing leader No. 8: Gary Huff (1970-72)

  • 6,378 passing yards
  • 52 passing touchdowns
  • 55.0% completion
  • 8.0 yards per attempt

Gary Huff played sparingly in his first season under Bill Peterson, only attempting 81 passes, but when Larry Jones took over in 1971 he let Huff cut it loose. Huff attempted the eighth most passes in the country in ’71 and second most in ’72.

Huff was a gunslinger, he finished his career with 52 touchdowns, but also 42 interceptions. In 1972 he was second in the country with 23 picks, but also finished 10th in Heisman trophy voting that year and led the country with 26 touchdowns responsible for.

Huff’s aggressive mindset was appealing to the Chicago Bears who selected him in the second round of the 1973 NFL Draft.
