David Klingler had one of the most statistically staggering seasons in college football history in 1990. The Houston quarterback threw for 5,140 yards and 54 touchdowns en route to leading the Cougars to a 10-1 record.
One of those wins was an 84-21 drubbing of Eastern Washington. Klingler completed 41 of his 58 passes for 572 yards and 11 touchdowns against the Eagles. Klingler led Houston to a touchdown on each of its first six drives and threw scoring strikes to eight different receivers in the victory. Klingler's 11 scores through the air remain an FBS single-game record.
