ESPN had an analysis of the QB situation at every FBS school, they didn’t seem to think much of NU’s QB room for 2024. Out of 20 tiers, NU was in group 16.
Here’s what they had to say:
Beginning with Week 1 in 2015, Clayton Thorson started 53 straight games for Northwestern, posting a 61.2 Total QBR. In the 58 games since, nine different QBs have gotten a start, and none in more than seven straight. They’ve combined for a Total QBR of 45.1 in that span.
