For the Big Ten, Week 1 is in the books, and some teams really like what they have at quarterback. But not every team is set with its starter.
Of course, Michigan football has a quarterback controversy, with Cade McNamara, the incumbent starter from last year, getting the nod in Week 1 before J.J. McCarthy starts in Week 2. Alan Bowman got a handful of snaps in the season opener against Colorado State, as well. Rutgers played three quarterbacks in its win over Boston College, as well.
Taking PFF’s overall offensive grades for the quarterbacks that saw relatively decent playing time in Week 1, we saw a good 19 go out and make plays. While our future breakdowns will likely see a solid 14, given that teams will have a defined starter, here is how PFF graded out the quarterbacks in the Big Ten.
