The most underrated quarterback in each college football conference (Big Ten: Drake Lindsey, MN)

Per Bundy:

Big Ten: Drake Lindsey, Minnesota

I know I heap praise on the Gophers a lot but they just look like a team that's waiting to explode in the Big Ten. The homegrown Lindsey had 2,382 passing yards, 18 touchdowns and a mere six interceptions on his 389 attempts last season. He impressively did not throw a pick in his final five games and scored seven touchdowns in the final three, including the game winner in overtime at the Rate Bowl. Lindsey could be the next Mendoza with the right luck.

Don't be shocked if these passers are making waves in college football next year.

This guy gets it. Not a dink!

Edit: He needs to research where Drake came from however.

So...does this mean that we consider players who didn't portal in as "homegrown" now?

Anywhere near being the next Mendoza and I think we're in pretty good shape next year. Really has to work on his mobility to come anywhere near those comparisons.

I like Drake, hopefully he continues to improve this season. 2900 yards and 23 TD's and most importantly winning 7-8 games would be great.

I like Drake, he’s a very good prospect.

Still a prospect kinda guy IMO. Praise for him IMO is getting way ahead of the results so far.

Granted I’m excited to see him this fall

Agreed, and this is NOT a comparison, but I was thinking of successful, immobile college QBs and thought of Peyton Manning, so I looked up his college rushing stats.
