The best quarterback in Kentucky football history is once again up for College Football Hall of Fame honors.
Tim Couch played at Kentucky from 1996-98 and broke a ton of records. In two seasons playing for Hal Mumme’s Air Raid offense, Couch threw for 73 touchdowns on his way to first-team All-SEC and All-American honors in 1998. The star quarterback would go on to become a Heisman Trophy finalist before being the No. 1 overall pick of the expansion Cleveland Browns in the 1999 NFL Draft.
The former USA Today High School All-American won Kentucky’s Mr. Football award as a senior at Hyden (Ky.) Leslie County in 1995. Couch had a wild recruitment that ended with the elite blue-chip prospect picking the Wildcats over powerhouse Tennessee. After a tumultuous year under Bill Curry, Couch went on to thrive playing for Mumme and offensive coordinator Mike Leach in Lexington.
