“There are three things that can happen when you throw a pass, and two of them are bad.”
Woody Hayes (1913–1987) American football player and coach
This quote is often attributed to Hayes, but some contend General Robert Neyland of the University of Tennessee or Darrell Royal of the University of Texas was the source. Darrell Royal gives the credit to Woody Hayes as being the source of the quote.
