The following year, Moss recorded 25 touchdowns and won the Fred Biletnikoff Award. He also finished fourth in Heisman Trophy voting that season. Moss went on to have a remarkable 16-year career in the NFL, earning six Pro Bowl selections and being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.

Alex Smith, on the other hand, was a star quarterback for Utah from 2002 to 2004. As a sophomore in 2003, he threw for 15 touchdowns and 2,247 yards.

He led the Utes to a perfect 12-0 season in 2004 and a BCS bowl berth in the Fiesta Bowl, where he threw for 328 yards and four touchdowns. Smith was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers as the No. 1 pick in the 2005 NFL Draft and went on to have a successful 16-year career, receiving the 2020 NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award after overcoming a serious leg injury.
