Welcome to “B1G Numbers to Ponder,” a new feature here at the Pants where I’ll be taking a quick look at some numbers and stats in the Big Ten from last season as we head into 2017. Once the season starts, we’ll be shifting gears to what went down in the previous week. This won’t be Moneyball, sabermetrics type stuff, but it’ll get through through a sip or two of coffee during the week. You’re welcome.
The big names in terms of the 2018 NFL Draft are both currently playing college ball in L.A., but the Big Ten is loaded with proven winners and stat-monsters at the position.
