Max Knake rewrote the TCU football record books during his three-year run as the Horned Frogs' starting quarterback in the mid-1990's. Along the way, he also helped lead TCU to its first Southwest Conference Championship in 35 years in 1994 in addition to the program's first bowl game in a decade. During his career, Knake set TCU career records for pass attempts (1,115), completions (622), yards (7,370) and touchdowns (49), marks that were eventually eclipsed by former four-year starter Andy Dalton. Knake still holds the team record for most consecutive pass attempts in a game without an interception of 57 set during a 1995 win against Kansas. Knake's finest season came in 1994, when he was an All-Southwest Conference selection while leading the Frogs to a share of the conference title and an Independence Bowl appearance with a 7-4 overall record. He threw for 2,624 yards and 24 touchdowns, both of which at the time were TCU individual season records.
