He listed at 5'10 202 and ran like 4.5. He had one of the better seasons this league had seen in 2009, his junior season:

Finished the year ranked 7th nationally in total offense, 9th in points responsible for, 35th in passing yards, and 40th in rushing ... Became just the fourth player in NCAA history to throw for 2,500 yards and rush for more than 1,000 yards in a single-season ... Set a new school record in total offense with 3,943 yards while accounting for 36 touchdowns.

Earned New Orleans Bowl MVP honors after leading the Blue Raiders to their first FBS bowl win by throwing for 162 yards, rushing for 201 yards, and accounting for four touchdowns (2 rush, 2 pass) ... His 201 rushing yards went down as the most yards ever by a quarterback in NCAA bowl history.



His 201 rushing yards in NOLA topped Vince Young's mark he set in that famous Rose Bowl, Dasher's record was subsequently topped by Manziel in the Cotton Bowl.


Dasher was a hell of a talent, if he had half a brain we probably would have had a much better 2010, we lost to both Minnesota and Memphis by a touchdown while he was serving his suspension, he probably would have gone down as an all time great at MT and he might have played QB in the arena or CFL or maybe gotten a shot at another position in the NFL, but he doesn't have half a brain and his talent was ultimately largely wasted.
