This year there are 13 guys at 160 or better. Going back to 1977, there has never been more than 6. The average number of QBs at 160 or better is 2.6. Maybe bowl games will knock some of those guys below 160
160 is really good - that's McNabb/McPherson good. (If those guys were playing today, they'd be even better)
Everyone who thinks that college football is cyclical is either not noticing a trend or thinks in terms of really long cycles because defenses aren't keeping up
Many different ways to get to this type of passing performance but the thing the offenses have in common is that they're simple, they offer easy choices to QBs, and they're similar to what kids run in high school. Throw in the reps they get in 7 on 7 and you get excellent passing
Posted a week or so ago about how shabby Northeastern quarterbacking has become. Kids up here don't get the reps and everything is totally different when they get to high school. I don't know if Hunt will have enough time to really catch up to southern QBs. We're going to need a steady stream of QB recruits ready at all times since we're stuck developing more (assuming we can't count on stud southern QBs)
Does anyone know how well our staff runs a practice? The air raid teams, baylor, oregon, they run so fast that they squeeze in a lot more practice. The air raid schools make a lot of tradeoffs in order to get QBs that many more reps. I wonder if practice pace is low hanging fruit for us competing with BC, Pitt, PSU, Rutgers
