Ohio State hasn’t had the most glorious history when it comes to its history, especially when it comes to success at the next level. However, that narrative has changed a little with some of the best playmakers in the game underneath center on the Banks of the Olentangy as of late.
There has been a shift with the spread attack of having the most athletic player on the field at the quarterback position. It’s resulted in some pretty remarkable offensive numbers, both rushing and passing, and Ohio State has in some ways led the way in that shift.
But still, there are some OSU quarterbacks that put up a bushel of yards as a so-called pocket passer, both as of late and historically. Maybe the Buckeyes don’t have some of the eye-popping stats of other passers in the history of the college game, but they hold their own.
Here are the top 20 passing yards leaders in the history of the Ohio State football program. We start with No. 20 and count down to the overall leader to date.
