College football power rankings: Top 25 quarterbacks for the 2022 season
By John Buhler
Love ’em or hate ’em, Stetson Bennett IV is a postmaster general national champ
One of the most polarizing quarterbacks in the country is also a national champion. That’s right. Love ’em or hate ’em, how you gonna tell me we can’t have a top 25 quarterbacks list and not include “The Mailman” Stetson Bennett IV, son? He may only be Georgia’s version of Ian Book, but the Dawgs know damn well they can get to and win multiple playoff games with him at the helm.
He may be an undersized former walk-on, but Bennett’s mobility, accuracy and toughness are vastly underrated. In addition to that, he throws a pretty good deep ball as well. With this being the first, and only, year it is undeniably his team in Athens, look for the sixth-year senior to make the most of it. Expect the Georgia football legend to ascend to Athenian Dawg God status.
It is not about the size of the Dawg in the fight, but rather the size of the fight in the Dawg, bruh.
Look for Aidan O’Connell to keep on helping the Purdue offense play Spoilermaker
If you stop and think about it, isn’t Aidan O’Connell of the Purdue Boilermakers the second-best quarterback in the Big Ten this year? We all know who the top banana is, but O’Connell can really sling it for Jeff Brohm in West Lafayette. Although Purdue is not favored to come out of the Big Ten West this year, they certainly have the quarterback and maybe the weapons to potentially do so.
O’Connell is experienced and knows all the bells and whistles in running Brohm’s offense. He will surely put up prolific numbers in what will be his final college season. While he does not play at a traditional power to elevate his profile, Drew Brees and Kyle Orton did fine playing for Purdue in their college careers. As long as O’Connell is healthy, the Boilermakers will have a fighting chance.
If you don’t prepare for 60 minutes of tough, physical football, your team could lose to ole Purdue.
