Impact Warner has had an issue with interceptions throughout his carer, tossing for at least 11 of them in each of his four seasons of college football. Still, in the final game of his career, he protected the football and was very efficient, completing 70 percent of his throws on 9.3 yards per attempt. It was a good sendoff for the quarterback who spent two seasons starting for Temple and the past two years as Fresno State's starter.
