    The 6096/1720 is Deuce. 4164/1720 is Dalton. For 2865/2221 I'm going to go with Reggie.

    1. The Saints have had 2 games in which 2 separate running backs rushed for more than 100 yards each. Name the backs and the opponent in each game.

    2. Since 1970, only 2 teams have had a game where 2 different players for the same team both threw for, and ran for, a touchdown. The Saints were one of them. Name the 2 ballplayers, and name the opponent. (Hint: it was during the Ditka era)

    3. The SEC has produced the most Saints starting QBs (7). What conference is second, with 4, and name those 4.

    @Tiger_fan am I right about Delhomme, Collins and Kilmer?

    And working on your undrafted QB's question.....Hebert and Delhomme are 2 of them. Working off the hint about not from major conferences, I'll throw Todd Bouman in, along with Jamie Martin. I want to add Jeff Blake, but I think the Bengals drafted him. I'm going to throw Guido Merkens in there. Wracking my brain for other starters from small conferences, and everyone I come up with was drafted. So for kicks and giggles, I'll make Blake number 6.

    We have
    1. Bobby Hebert
    2. Jake Delhomme
    3. Todd Boumann
    4. Jamie Martin
    5. Jeff Blake
    6. Guido Merkens

    Forgot to go after this one.....let's see. I'll go Archie, Kerry Collins, Jim Everett, Richard Todd, Ken Stabler and Wade Wilson. Hedging my bet, I'm not very confident in Todd; might have to throw Gary Cuozzo in for that one, though that's just a guess as well.

    You should be proud. After you jogged my memory earlier with a Snake Stabler and Richard Todd question, I think I would have gotten it too, had I see it earlier. They only one I don't think I would have gotten was Gary Cuozzo. He was before my time.

    I detect a shot at my age. I'll let it pass, though.

    I posted a few more questions above. Did you see them?

    Reggie is 4162 rushing / 2730 receiving for his NFL career but only 2090 rushing / 2142 receiving with the Saints. but the other two were right. so just one more to go...

    Hint 1: he was the NFL's sixth leading receiver his 1st year as a Saint. he was also #9 in the NFL in rushing TDs, and #5 in the NFL in yards/touch

    Hint 2: he was the NFL's 2nd leading receiver his 3rd year as a Saint

    Hint 3: he was #2 in all-time rushing yards for the Saints at one time

    2865 rushing / 2221 receiving - ?????
    2974 rushing / 1717 receiving - Pierre Thomas
    4164 rushing / 2233 receiving- Dalton Hilliard
    6096 rushing / 1720 receiving - Deuce McAllister

    Yep, I figured it out. The last one is Tony Galbreath.

    hints on the two you missed:

    hint 1 -- I was wrong about them all being from small conference schools. the two you missed were from major conference schools.

    hint 2 -- one of them served as national chairman of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes for several years. He once said this about Saints games: "The games had a Mardi Gras atmosphere."

    hint 3 -- the other one was his school's career record holder in passing yards when he left
