2020 Big Ten Quarterback Leaderboard

The leaderboard ranks the quarterbacks in the Big Ten, based on how well they played statistically compared to the average against their opponents. A few qualifiers:

• We only count games in which the quarterback attempted at least 10 passes.
• We only include quarterbacks that attempted at least 50 passes this year.
• We exclude the quarterback in question’s stats from the average he is being compared to.
