Troy Aikman Trivia Questions
1. What other professional sport was Troy Aikman drafted for?

From Quiz Troy Aikman

Answer: Baseball

2. How many pass yards did Troy Aikman have throughout his career?

From Quiz Troy Aikman

Answer: 32,942

He finished his final game with a concussion early in the 2000 season to end his 11 year career with the Cowboys. He gained only few hundred yards that season. And he began his career with the Cowboys too (1989).

3. Troy played for two Division 1A schools. We all know about UCLA, but what college did he transfer in from?

From Quiz Troy Aikman

Answer: Oklahoma

Troy attended Oklahoma in 1985 under Barry Switzer, for whom he would also play in the NFL. Troy broke his leg in the 5th game against Miami, coached by none other than Jimmy Johnson, and had to sit the rest of the year. Oklahoma won the NCAA title that year using the wishbone offense, which is run oriented. Switzer didn't want to switch back to a pass oriented offense, so he helped Troy get into a program which would use his passing skills better than at Oklahoma, and the rest is, as we say, history.
