At least three Big Ten quarterbacks will make their first career starts this week -- potentially four, if Michigan goes with redshirt sophomore Wilton Speight.
Some might surprise this week, some might disappoint. While we don’t know what to fully expect quite yet, we thought we’d look ahead this week by first looking back at the quarterbacks who preceded these first-time starters. Did a great first game act as an omen for a great passing season? Were most able to pull out a win? Did a solid defense doom their debuts?
We looked at the three most recent QBs to start a game for each team and then glanced back at their first career starts.
