QB Julian Sayin

How dominant has Julian Sayin been this season? He has been Ohio State's highest-rated player for half of the season's 12 games. That happens when you are the best graded quarterback in overall offense (93.4) and passing (93.2) in the nation for the season.

Another category Sayin has been super in is completing passes. Not only is his completion percentage of 78.9 the best of any quarterback this season, it's the highest for any quarterback for a season ... ever.

Just sayin': He's just rsFreshman and it's his 1st year actually playing; so I'm guessing that he hasn't come close to "hitting his ceiling' yet.

To think we have Julian and JJ and pretty much the entire O coming back .... Wow. We are blessed.

Just sayin': Many people aren't aware what a young offensive this is and this doesn't even include any incoming Freshmen.. Look a the offensive depth chart (below) all the starters can come back; only Onianwa, Donaldson, and Kacmarek are out of eligibility. With that being said there is speculation that Tate will "go pro" and possibly a few others might opt to transfer though.

I wonder if he or Mendoza will win QB of the Big 10? If I had to guess they'll probably give it to Mendoza...

Edit:

Yep of course they did. And gave him offensive player of the year.

That'll give heisman voters an excuse to vote for Mendoza instead of Julian. "He didn't even win QB of the year in his own conference".
