Big Ten football quarterbacks ranked by ESPN total QBR after week one

Following the opening week of the college football season, ESPN’s Total QBR has provided a baseline ranking for Big Ten conference quarterbacks. Illinois signal-caller Katin Houser currently holds the top position in the metric with a 98.9 rating after completing 13-of-17 passes for 182 yards and three touchdowns. Ohio State’s Julian Sayin follows closely with a 98.8 rating, while Penn State quarterback Rocco Becht ranks third with a 97.9. The rankings account for strength of opponent and overall performance across all offensive plays. Not all conference players are represented in the initial analysis, as those with insufficient playing time during the first week did not qualify. The list spans from Jeremy Hecklinski of Iowa at the bottom to Houser at the top, reflecting early-season production across the league.
