The Quarterback Tale of the Tape
A look at how Max Johnson compares to Will Levis of Kentucky. He became the quarterback of the Wildcats this season after transferring from Penn State. Here is how the gunslingers compare:
| Max Johnson | vs | Will Levis |
| 6-5 | Ht | 6-3 |
| 220 | Wt | 222 |
| Sophomore | Class | RS Junior |
| 113 | Comp | 73 |
| 181 | Att | 118 |
| 62.4 | Comp% | 61.9 |
| 1,468 | Yards | 989 |
| 8.1 | YPA | 8.4 |
| 16 | TDs | 8 |
| 4 | INTs | 6 |
The numbers are an advantage for Johnson in almost every category. The lefty has a slightly lower yard per attempt number and the completion percentages are almost even. Levis doesn’t have to throw it near as much as Johnson due to actually having a running game. In fact, they have the SEC’s No. 1 rusher in Chris Rodriguez Jr.
Both quarterbacks will give the defense an opportunity to take the ball away. Levis throws an interception every 19.7 pass attempts. Given he throws it 23.6 times a game on average, there will be an opportunity to take the ball away. Johnson throws an interception every 45.3 pass attempts.
Given everything we know about the two teams, the slight edge goes to Johnson. Mostly because he has to throw the ball to get the offense rolling. He is currently second in the SEC behind Bryce Young with 16 touchdown passes in five games.
