Josh Vogelbach: The Best Quarterback You've Never Heard of, Much Less Seen Play

In the third week of the season, Guilford College quarterback Josh Vogelbach threw for 360 yards and seven touchdowns in the Quakers' 43-17 win over the Averett Cougars. The win upped Guilford's record to 3-0 for the season but don't scurry over to check and see where they're rated in the latest AP or Wordsleuth poll. Guilford is a Division-III school.

Most people hear D-III and their eyes immediately glaze over. Some ill-informed people even go so far as to say that the top high school teams could beat a D-III school. But, if we learned nothing else from I-AA Appalachian State's victory at Michigan, we should now realize that there are great players at every level of college football.

And Josh Vogelbach is one of them.

Vogelbach transferred to Guilford from Division-I East Carolina University, so clearly he was good enough to play D-I coming out of high school. So far in his two-plus seasons with the Quakers, he hass re-written the Guilford College record book and now he is taking aim at the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) leader board.

Coming into the 2007 season, Vogelbach already held the all-time mark for Guilford College, which has played football for 100 seasons, in attempts, completions, yards, completion percentage and touchdown passes.

This past Saturday, he became the ODAC's all-time leader in completions with 681. With 88 career TD passes, Vogelbach is three shy of the league's best mark. Later this season, he should establish ODAC marks in both attempts and yardage. He already holds the single-season record in the conference for attempts and completions and has a shot this year at ODAC marks in yards (3,731) and touchdowns (42).

In three games this year, Vogelbach has completed 95-of-132 passes (72%) for 1,188 yards. He has 19 touchdowns compared to only three interceptions and has one rushing TD.
