CollegeFootballNews.com poses the question, “The ten greatest quarterbacks of all-time are …” and Matt Leinart winds up either #1 or #2 on these guys lists.

#2 Matt Leinart, USC – Everyone came out of the 2006 Rose Bowl talking about Vince Young, and rightly so, while Leinart’s brilliant performance was swept aside. Talk about your money players, the guy went 39-2 as a starter, completed 70 of 109 passes for 1,024 yards, nine touchdowns and one interception in his three bowl games. He won a Heisman, was in the mix for another, won a BCS national title, two AP national titles, and was the leader of one of the great runs in the history of college football. The career stats are amazing: 807-1,245 (65%), 10,693 yards, 99 touchdowns, 23 interceptions, nine rushing touchdowns, one touchdown catch.

#1 Matt Leinart, USC (2003-05) – Cackle if you must, but I defy you to find a more accomplished quarterback in the history of college football. Quarterbacks are judged by their record and individual numbers and awards, and Leinart is peerless in all three categories. In three seasons, his Trojans went 37-2 and never finished lower than No. 2 in the polls. Leinart accounted for 108 touchdowns to just 23 interceptions and finished in the top six of the Heisman voting three times, winning the award in 2004. Short of beating Texas in his Trojan finale and winning a second Heisman, he had a near-perfect career, making this a clear choice.

#2 Matt Leinart, USC – Transcendent moment – 4th and 9, fourth quarter, less than 2 minutes left at Notre Dame – the audible to the “sluggo” route to Dwayne Jarrett, to be followed by the QB sneak for six.
