Andrew John Bond II (born March 19, 1961) is a former American football quarterback. He was the starting quarterback for the Mississippi State Bulldogs in 1980, 1981, 1982, and 1983. He played in wishbone offense under head coach Emory Bellard.
College career
Bond's college career included a 6-3 win over Alabama in 1980, a game still considered by Bulldog fans to be the greatest in school history.[1][2] In addition, Bond is the only quarterback in college football history to beat LSU four times.,[3] and he was also named the MVP of the 1981 Hall of Fame Bowl.
Bond is third in total offense on the Bulldogs' career list with 6,901 (4,621 passing and 2,280 rushing). Bond's rushing total was an SEC record for over two decades, but was eventually passed by Matt Jones of Arkansas and Tim Tebow of Florida.[4]
After college, Bond signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders but did not appear in any games.
Later life
In 2010, Bond played a role in the Cam Newton eligibility controversy. Bond reported that in 2009, former Mississippi State player Kenny Rogers told him that it would take $120,000 to $180,000 to have Newton commit to the Bulldogs. Bond reported this information to the Mississippi State athletic department, who reported it to the SEC.[5] Newton eventually signed with Auburn.
