Keeton accumulated those statistics in 38 games (35 starts). As a true freshman in 2011, Keeton started his collegiate carer by leading the Aggies to a victory over defending national champion Auburn. By the end of his sophomore season, he'd become a first-team all-conference quarterback. He threw for 3,373 yards and 27 touchdown passes and just nine interceptions that season while rushing for 619 yards and eight touchdowns. He set single-season program records for touchdown passes, passing yards, completions (275), completion percentage (67.6) and total offense (3.992 yards).
A serious knee injury suffered against BYU cut short his junior season.
