Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Philadelphia Eagles made it to Super Bowl XXXIX. Unfortunately, they lost the game to which team?

The Eagles lost Super Bowl XXXIX, but they put up a good fight against the Patriots. New England only edged them out by 3 points in a 24-21 win.
2. When did the University of South Florida win their first bowl game?

Answer: 2006

They played in their first bowl game in 2005, but lost. Their first win came in 2006 at the PapaJohns.com Bowl by defeating ECU.
3. It may be known that John Cappeletti won the 1973 Heisman Trophy after toting the ball for Penn State as the nation's finest running back. Another Penn State player was the first in Heisman history to garner the most first place votes, yet fail to win the ultimate prize. What was the name of this Penn State Heisman runner-up?

Answer: Chuck Fusina

Fusina was the Penn State quarterback from midway through the 1976 season through the end of his senior year in 1978. Fusina was the runner-up in his senior year to Oklahoma running back Billy Sims, who would later star for the Detroit Lions. Fusina, though a splendid college quarterback, did not find as much success in the NFL.

He did, however, lead the Philadelphia Stars to the first champisonhip of the rival USFL.
4. Kurt Warner took the snaps for which NFL team in 2008?

Answer: Arizona Cardinals

At the start of the season, the Cardinals were choosing between putting Matt Leinart or Kurt Warner as their starting quarterback. They picked Kurt Warner. It was Warner's 13th season in the NFL. He led the Cardinals to an outstanding season and a Super Bowl appearance, but lost.
5. Who was the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines in 2008?

Answer: Rich Rodriguez

He was the former coach at WVU and came to Michigan. 2008 was Rich's first season with the Wolverines, but their 3-9 record was not much of a welcome.
6. Before NFL head coach Andy Reid took over the Philadelphia Eagles, he was a quarterback coach and an assistant coach for which team?

Answer: Green Bay Packers

When he was the quarterback coach, he worked with the NFL legend Brett Favre. He was also the assistant to then head coach of the Packers, Mike Holmgren.
