In College:
Moss: (played 2 years)
'96 Marshall 1AA: 78 receptions for 1,709 yards and 28 touchdowns. Also led the nation in kick return yardage and averaged 34 yards per kick return.
'97 Marshall 1A: 96 receptions for 1820 yards, and 26 touchdowns. Won the Belitnikoff award as the nations leading receiver. Heisman trophy finalist as a sophomore.
Rice: (played 4 years - all at 1AA level)
He finished his career with 301 catches for 4,693 yards and 50 touchdowns (some sources have the numbers as 310, 4,856 and 51)
Yep - Moss had way more TD catches in 2 seasons playing in a balanced offense than Rice had in 4 seasons playing in a pass happy offense that also set scoring records.
Two greatest receivers ever. One just happens to be 6'5" with 4.2 speed and uncommon leaping ability, body control, wing span, and strength for body type. The other guy is a mere mortal named Jerry Rice.
