With the 2011 season approaching, BECB wanted to look back at how quarterbacks performed last year using the Positive Impact Factor (what's this?). First, we'll look at how the starting quarterbacks in the Big East ranked in 2010.
There were 130 quarterbacks ranked in the FBS by the Positive Impact Factor (PIF) last year (a minimum average of 14 touches [pass attempts, rush attempts, or receptions] per game were needed to make the list). Click here to see the full list.
| National Rank | QB | Team | Touches | Total TD | Neg Play | XNeg Play | XPos Play | PIF |
| 34. | Tino Sunseri | Pittsburgh | 399 | 18 | 37.3 | 14.6 | 4.5 | 52.5 |
| 56. | Geno Smith | West Virginia | 478 | 24 | 34.9 | 23.9 | 5 | 46.2 |
| 66. | Zach Collaros | Cincinnati | 504 | 30 | 39.3 | 22.7 | 6 | 44 |
| 67. | Zach Frazer | Connecticut | 290 | 5 | 48.3 | 9.6 | 1.7 | 43.8 |
| 79. | B.J. Daniels | South Florida | 357 | 16 | 35.6 | 27.3 | 4.5 | 41.6 |
| 84. | Adam Froman | Louisville | 255 | 13 | 39.2 | 26 | 5.1 | 39.9 |
| 93. | Chas Dodd | Rutgers | 285 | 11 | 52.3 | 14 | 3.9 | 37.8 |
| 116. | Ryan Nassib | Syracuse | 425 | 20 | 46.6 | 25.4 | 4.7 | 32.7 |
To give you a feel for the range during the 2010 season, Auburn's Cam Newton led the country with a PIF of 70.4 while Temple's Mike Gerardi was dead last with an 8.2.
Zach Collaros led the Big East in total touchdowns and produced them at the highest rate as well at 6%. Tennessee's Tyler Bray was the cutoff for last season in the Top Ten in touchdown production rate at 7.38%. Collaros had 17 turnovers which also led the Big East. Nobody was worse in the Big East at making positive things happen than Chas Dodd of Rutgers (keep in mind how bad the offensive line was though). On 52.3% of his touches last season, an incompletion, sack or fumble occurred. Despite racking up the third most touchdowns in the Big East, Ryan Nassib of Syracuse also accumulated 13 turnovers last season along with a high rate of negative plays. That combination landed him in last place in the league.
Thirty-one times last season quarterbacks recorded a perfect PIF game (PIF of 100) or a PIF Plus game (PIF of 100+). Four of those games were recorded Big East quarterbacks: B.J. Daniels had a PIF of 104 against Cincinnati in South Florida's 38-30 win; Zach Collaros had a 100 rating against Miami University in Cincinnati's 45-3 win; Adam Froman was perfect in Louisville's 56-0 destruction of Memphis and Justin Burke had a perfect PIF game against Rutgers in Louisville's 40-13 victory.

Temple has the worst PIF in the whole Big East. Wait, what?

Very interesting
Earlier today on the Twitter, On The Banks slandered one Zachary Meriweather Fiestabowl Frazer by proclaiming him worse than Chas Dodd.
Needless to say, after looking at these stats, I demand a retraction, an apology, and 30 Bon Jovi CDs as restitution for this grievous injury.
Thoroughly enjoying life atop the Big East.
Chas Dodd
That’s my boy, let the dynasty begin!

I’ll admit, I have many times since last season stated that Pitt needed to go a new direction with QB. I am surprised and yet not surprised. Surprised because I didn’t think Tino was this good, but not surprised because he was overall solid, but nothing spectacular. I’m anxious to see how he does with Todd Dodge, the new QB coach, who was known for his QBs when he was a high school coach in Texas.

Well, speaking of Dodge
North Texas’ team offensive PIF was 51.3, second best in the Sun Belt last season. So, why weren’t they better? His son Riley wasn’t re-established as the starter until it was too late. Riley Dodge had a 59.7 last year (11th in the country). And, they were 103rd in the country when it came to opposing QBs PIF against them.

In Dana Holgorsen's system????
Heisman dark horse sounds about right to me.
Hey Oliver Luck, I'm tired of being the winningest football program to have never won a National Championship. Thank you for doing something about that.

Okay
I think we all can agree that Ryan Nassib is not a heisman calibur QB, but that PIF ranking of 116 puts him as not only the worst starting QBs in the conference, but one of the absolute worst in the country.
Sorry, this doesn’t even pass the common sense test.
