Ranking Big Ten quarterbacks through 7 weeks based on PFF grade
We are through seven weeks of the college football season and it's getting clearer who the best quarterbacks are in the Big Ten Conference. There are some surprises like Indiana's Kurtis Rourke who has been one of the best in college football. Then there have been disappointments like the Wolverines' situation. Michigan is entering Week 8 with its third new starting quarterback of 2024.
Whether it's been turnover issues or not rebounding from injuries, some quarterbacks in the Big Ten haven't lived up to the hype, either. Oregon State transfer Aidan Chiles has been turnover prone since arriving at Michigan State which has hurt his grade. Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara has had a tough go getting the Hawkeye offense moving the football.
