Bring it on B1G QBs... :bonesflag:We've separated all 12 opponents into three categories at quarterback: Proven Players, Promising Potential and Up In the Air where starting quarterbacks have yet to be chosen. That includes Wisconsin, for now, as Wilson hasn't decided where he'll transfer.
Playing quarterback against the Huskers is one of the more unpleasant jobs in college football. You're facing a pass defense that held quarterbacks to a 48-percent completion rate in 2009 and 2010. One of the nation's best pass-rushing front fours. A complex matchup zone defense that frustrates passers.
In two games, Missouri's Blaine Gabbert never figured it out. Neither did Washington's Jake Locker. Oklahoma's Landry Jones has thrown six career interceptions against NU. In one game, Idaho's Nathan Enderle threw five.
Aside from a few snaps taken by UW's Keith Price in the Holiday Bowl, not one of the opposing quarterbacks on this year's schedule has faced the Blackshirts. Here are their stories heading into 2011:
