With a mostly inexperienced quarterback room, where does Nebraska rank among the conference elite?
All teams have likely cemented their rosters for the coming season, with some slight additions and subtractions to programs coming before the opening kickoff of the season in August. The Big Ten Conference is no different, despite their changes to the conference landscape over the past year.
Maryland relied on Tagovailoa's prowess to win games in 2023. They may need to rely on the rest of the roster to get to a bowl game in 2024.Piscataway, NJ -- April 27, 2024 -- Coach Greg Schiano and quarterback, Athan Kaliakmanis during Rutgers annual spring football game at SHI Stadium. / Chris Pedota, NorthJersey.com / USAThe former Minnesota Gopher entered the portal and switched sides of the conference, leading near the Big Apple and forcing out the former Scarlet Knight starter.
He will be pushed by Donovan Leary, who by all accounts had a strong spring and may be ready to take over the team if given the chance. Altmyer did finish his season strong throwing ten touchdown to three interceptions in his final six games. While McNamara's experience pushes him up the list, Iowa's lack of big-play potential drops them to the second-half of the conference. Deacon Hill transferred out as Northwestern's Brendan Sullivan came in. Sullivan does provide stability in case of another McNamara injury.
In the final four games of the season, Garbers threw 11 touchdown passes with no interceptions. However, a tough slate to open the year could spell a change early if Garbers struggles. Card threw 15 touchdown passes in 2023 that placed him sixth in the conference. To reach that next tier of Big Ten quarterbacks, Card will be asked to take a step up in new offensive coordinator Graham Harrell's offense. Harrell was a disciple of the Mike Leach offense from his playing days with Texas Tech, potentially setting up Card for a big year.

Spring reports say Moss was "lights out" in practices, fending off sophomore UNLV transfer Jayden Maiava. Maiava threw for 3,000 yards his freshman season, giving Riley another talented signal caller to turn to if Moss falters. A lot of upside for a quarterback room with less film.Nov 23, 2023; Starkville, Mississippi, USA; Mississippi State Bulldogs quarterback Will Rogers reacts during the second half against the Mississippi Rebels at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field.
