Big Ten teams rely on first- and second-year quarterbacks who are making more plays than mistakes, with multiple players winning Freshman of the Week honors, coaches say.
- The 15th-ranked Wolverines are one of several Big Ten teams starting quarterbacks in their first or second year of college.
- Coaches cite talent and potential as the reason Maryland freshman Malik Washington, Ohio State redshirt freshman Julian Sayin and Minnesota redshirt freshman Drake Lindsey are starting and making more plays than mistakes.
- Drake Lindsey went 31 for 41 for 324 yards and three touchdowns to lead Minnesota past Rutgers 31-28 last month, and Coach P.J. Fleck said `We're putting it on your shoulders, big boy` before the final drive.
- Maryland has already matched last season's wins with Washington starting since Week 1, while Sayin's weekly honors have helped Ohio State remain unbeaten.
- Underwood's season totals indicate nine touchdowns with two interceptions and three rushing scores, while Williams has eight touchdowns and one interception, signaling strong early production.
