Long's Big Ten records for both passing (10,461 yards) and total offense (10,254 yards) lasted 15 years. He still holds Iowa marks for passing, completions, touchdown passes and total offense. He earned first-team All-Big Ten honors three times, finished second and seventh in Heisman Trophy voting and won the Maxwell Award in 1985.
