When Brad Smith appeared as a Freshman in 2002, he ran for 1,029 yards and threw for 2,333. He was only the second player to ever accomplish this feat (1000/2000). The first being Woody Dantzler as a Senior the year before (2001).

Brad Smith accomplished the feat again as a Senior in 2005. That same year Vince Young accomplished it as a Jr. That was the start of the explosion. Since 2005 the list has grown from 4 to 33. However, Pat White, who broke BD Smith's record for the all time leader QB rusher is not on the list as he never threw for 2000 yards in a season.

Now that I have tied this to both MIZZOU and WVU, lets get down to the question. 5 players have surpassed 1000 yard rushing and 3000 yards passing in the Big 5 conferences. Select those players.
