<P> On July 14, 1990, before the start of Favre's senior year at Southern Miss, he was involved in a near - fatal car accident . When going around a bend a few tenths of a mile from his parents' house, Favre lost control of his car, which flipped three times and came to rest against a tree . It was only after one of his brothers smashed a car window with a golf club that Favre could be evacuated and rushed to the hospital . In the ambulance, his mother was sitting with him . "All I kept asking (her) was' Will I be able to play football again?"' Favre recalled later . Doctors would later remove 30 inches (76 cm) of Favre's small intestine . Six weeks after this incident, on September 8, Favre led Southern Miss to a comeback victory over Alabama . Alabama coach Gene Stallings said, "You can call it a miracle or a legend or whatever you want to . I just know that on that day, Brett Favre was larger than life ." </P> <P> Favre formerly held several Southern Miss football records until most were surpassed by Austin Davis by the end of the 2011 season . Favre had 15 games over his career where he compiled more than 200 passing yards, making him fourth in school history on the all--time list in that category . Of those 15 games, five were 300 - yard games, the most compiled by any of the school's quarterbacks . Additionally, he was the seasonal leader in total passing and total offense in all four of his seasons at Southern Miss . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Team </Th> <Th_colspan="8"> Passing </Th> <Th_colspan="4"> Rushing </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Cmp </Th> <Th> Att </Th> <Th> Pct </Th> <Th> Yds </Th> <Th> Y / A </Th> <Th> TD </Th> <Th> Int </Th> <Th> Rtg </Th> <Th> Att </Th> <Th> Yds </Th> <Th> Avg </Th> <Th> TD </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Southern Miss </Td> <Td> 79 </Td> <Td> 194 </Td> <Td> 40.7 </Td> <Td> 1,264 </Td> <Td> 6.5 </Td> <Td> 15 </Td> <Td> 13 </Td> <Td> 107.6 </Td> <Td> 57 </Td> <Td> 169 </Td> <Td> 3.0 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Southern Miss </Td> <Td> 178 </Td> <Td> 319 </Td> <Td> 55.8 </Td> <Td> 2,271 </Td> <Td> 7.1 </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> 129.0 </Td> <Td> 51 </Td> <Td> - 15 </Td> <Td> - 0.3 </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Southern Miss </Td> <Td> 206 </Td> <Td> 381 </Td> <Td> 54.1 </Td> <Td> 2,588 </Td> <Td> 6.8 </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> 118.0 </Td> <Td> 43 </Td> <Td> - 25 </Td> <Td> - 0.6 </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Southern Miss </Td> <Td> 150 </Td> <Td> 275 </Td> <Td> 54.5 </Td> <Td> 1,572 </Td> <Td> 5.7 </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> 106.6 </Td> <Td> 42 </Td> <Td> - 218 </Td> <Td> - 5.2 </Td> <Td> 0 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Career </Td> <Td> 613 </Td> <Td> 1,169 </Td> <Td> 52.4 </Td> <Td> 7,695 </Td> <Td> 6.6 </Td> <Td> 52 </Td> <Td> 34 </Td> <Td> 116.6 </Td> <Td> 193 </Td> <Td> - 89 </Td> <Td> - 0.5 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Team </Th> <Th_colspan="8"> Passing </Th> <Th_colspan="4"> Rushing </Th> </Tr>
