Mathews and Wuerffel have a combined 148 TD passes for the Gators during their respective careers.
Grossman once threw for 34 TDs in 2001 in a season where I believe he was snubbed in the Heisman Trophy voting.

Vanderbilt again comes in second to the Gators with eight SEC single-season TD passing leaders but only one of those eight threw for more than 20 TD passes, that being Whit Taylor in 1982.
