There is a lot of firepower at quarterback returning to the Pac-12 for the 2023 college football season. This includes three Heisman Trophy contenders and the defending Heisman winner.
It all starts in the Pacific Northwest with Michael Penix Jr returning for another season with the Washington Huskies. He barely edged out Caleb Williams of the USC Trojans in terms of passing yardage. However, Williams accumulated more throws that led to touchdowns.
