Ranking Week 1 Big Ten quarterback performances - BTN

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

From article:

8. Jake Rudock, Iowa. The Hawkeyes’ passing game wasn’t clicking in the first half, but Rudock bounced back and led his team to a 31-23 win. Rudock completed 31-of-41 passes (76 percent) for 251 yards and two touchdowns. - See more at: http://btn.com/2014/08/31/ranking-big-ten-quarterback-week-1-performances/#sthash.te4dyVup.dpuf

I would have put his performance better than that, he completes 76% 251 yards, and 2 td's is a solid performance.

Everyone would be happy if he averaged that statline for every game of the year

His 6.1 yards per attempt, the most important statistic in football, was weak. His ypa was 8th in the conference, so I guess I agree with the ranking.

This rating drastically undervalues his performance I do not agree with it.

I'd take the %, the yardage (tied for 50th -- basically an average day), the TD's / 0 oskies but the ypc at 8.1 -- 99th of 109 -- uuumph!

Still WAAAYYYY too many dump offs to the relief valves and many that were short of the needed first down or simply in bad spots so it was a catch and tackle. I was completely unimpressed with the OL's lackluster effort in the rushing game but they gave JR all frickin' day in the passing game. While I see a decent performance on the surface of the stats, dig deeper into the situationals and the production and, yeah, it was about 8th best.

Cheers to verticality and placement from week 1 to week 2.

I agree.

I agree with the assessment. Read the article.

At the 1-2 spot you have guys with a higher completion % and more TDs
3: School record in passing yards and led his team to probably the best win of the conference
4: Twice as many TDs and more yards
5: More yards, more TDs and more rushing yards and rushing TD
6: 4 total TDs
7: More yards and 2 TDs and a more impressive win

I don't think it is far off. I'm not sure who you can make a case for him to be ranked above.

Its a fair assessment given the opponent.

Yards per attempt is the key stat and that needs big improvement.
