The Big 12 may be as wide open as it’s been in some time. A league that has been headlined by prolific passing attacks led by elite quarterbacks on a year-in, year-out basis, is looking at a reset.
For the first time in Big 12 history, the conference won’t return multiple 2,000-yard passers this fall. West Virginia’s Will Grier is the loan qualifier and easily the league’s most-accomplished QB.
So what does that mean for the rest of the league? A lot of inexperience behind center and probably an increased workload for a handful of dynamic running backs.
