Waiting for FB season to start again so just some QB stats from the past decade for your perusal. Make of it what you will. I think there should be a significant improvement for Junior and Senior years. I don't know how they calculated the efficiency ratings and it was missing on Niuhuskies.com for the first few years. First is completions/attempts, after the completion % is the TD/INT ratio. Hopefully this will be in a readable format when it is posted.

Phil Horvath, the most efficient NIU QB in the past 14 years.

So much for the value of statistics.

Most of the stats make sense, but I don't know how they calculate the efficiency rating - Horvath kinda makes a mockery of that number.

I mean he did complete 70% of his passes.

True, I guess I'm just confusing that with QB rating. He only had about 2000 passing yards and not a stupendous TD/INT ratio so "efficiency" only says so much.

Efficiency is QB rating. That said, the college way of calculating QB rating differs from the NFL version.
