So according to ESPN Beathard is the best QB in the B1G druing the 4th qtr. He is one of only two QB's in the nation to throw over 50 passes in the 4th to not have an INT. He completed 12 passes of atleast 20 yds in the 4th ranking 2nd in Power 5 conferences. Beathard was 44- 63 (69.8%) 706 yds and 6 TD's with no INT's in the 4th last season. He also ranks 2nd in the B1G inside the red zone. It's nice to have a guy that can protect the football and make big plays in the 4th at QB. It was missing at Iowa over the past 5 seasons.
