Something happened over the past 15 years that has long eluded this proud, storied football program.  Somewhere along the way we turned into a legitimate Quarterback school.  I was texting about this with some friends and we were debating how we'd rank the OSU QBs of the 2000s.  So I started to compile some stats & metrics to see how they stacked up.  In doing this, I found I was surprised by some of their numbers and thought it would be fun to present them without name to see if you could match the QB to his stats (without looking it up).  I only included stats for games STARTED - it would have been too difficult & tedious otherwise.  The OSU QBs of the 2000s (all apologies, Steve Bellisari, Justin Zwick & Joe Bauserman) are:

Craig Krenzel

Troy Smith

Todd Boeckman

Terrelle Pryor

Braxton Miller

J.T. Barrett

Cardale Jones

Dwayne Haskins

Justin Fields

 

The stats I included are TOTAL YPG (passing + rushing), Comp %, TD per game and INT per game.  I also included their records against Top 25 teams just in case you needed some help.  Individual QB Stats are as follows:

 

QB A

252 YPG, 59% Comp, 2.5 TDs/game, 0.5 INTs/game

7-5 vs. Top 25

 

QB B

230 YPG, 61% Comp, 2.0 TDs/game, 0.7 INTs/game

9-4 vs. Top 25

 

QB C

191 YPG, 57% Comp, 1.3 TDs/game, 0.4 INTs/game

12-3 vs. Top 25

 

QB D

216 YPG, 63% Comp, 2.1 TDs/game, 0.4 INTs/game

10-2 vs. Top 25

 

QB E

268 YPG, 67% Comp, 3.6 TDs/game, 0.2 INTs/game

5-1 vs. Top 25

 

QB F

399 YPG, 70% Comp, 4.1 TDs/game, 0.6 INTs/game

6-0 vs. Top 25

 

QB G

259 YPG, 63% Comp, 3.0 TDs/game, 0.6 INTs/game

11-3 vs. Top 25

 

QB H

275 YPG, 61% Comp, 1.8 TDs/game, 0.7 INTs/game

3-0 vs. Top 25

 

QB I

192 YPG, 63% Comp, 1.9 TDs/game, 1.0 INTs/game

4-2 vs. Top 25

 

Can you match the OSU QB to his stats?  I'll post the correct pairings tomorrow.
