Ken Dorsey quarterbacked Miami's 2001 national champions and won the Maxwell Award that season. He threw for 2,652 yards and 23 touchdowns as Miami went 12-0, according to the school's season review.
Running a Loaded Offense
Dorsey's job was to get the ball to a group of future pros: Clinton Portis in the backfield, Jeremy Shockey at tight end and Andre Johnson at receiver. The offense scored 512 points in 12 games.
