Top 10 Big Ten passing yardage leaders through Week 5
Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa continues to lead the way when it comes to passing yards in the Big Ten. The Maryland quarterback is coming off a big game at home against Indiana and looks to keep thriving with the pass as Maryland goes on the road for a massive test at Ohio State in Week 6. Tagovailoa’s play this season has been a big reason why Maryland is close to a top 25 ranking in the polls and why Maryland is considered a wild card factor in the Big Ten East race.
Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy showed off some great arm talent in a blowout on the road at Nebraska in Week 5 to help keep Michigan looking like the best team in the Big Ten. Penn State quarterback Drew Allar continues to play mistake-free football without an interception, but he did have some struggles with his completion percentage in a road game at Northwestern this past weekend.
