It is a transitional year under center around the Big Ten.
Several programs are breaking in new quarterbacks, with last week’s injury to Wisconsin’s Jack Coan adding another team that will have a new signal caller this fall. At Northwestern, Purdue and Rutgers, graduate transfers are looking to steal the jobs from returnees with experience.
That makes for some uncertainty inthe Free Press’ rankings of the 14 Big Ten QB situations.
14. Rutgers
Projected starter: Noah Vedral.
Backups: Artur Sitkowski, Johnny Langan.
The buzz: Vedral left Nebraska as a heady graduate transfer to join returning Rutgers coach Greg Schiano, and word out of Piscataway is new offensive coordinator Sean Gleason plans to use a high-tempo, no-huddle offense.
