Speight vs Rudock: a statistical comparison through 7 games

Submitted by Blue Indy on

I got a lot of positive feedback from my 6 week qb comparison, so I thought I'd make it a weekly post. Data:

Last year's narrative was about the 2nd half improvement Rudock made, seemingly right after M's BYE week (which was between game 7 and 8). Only time will tell if Speight makes a similar level of improvement, but he's off to a great start statistically after his BYE improvement week, going 16-23 for 253 yds and a qb rating of 190.7! 

 
Here's to hoping the trend continues, especially against Michigan St this weekend!
