1. Ben Bryant – QB – #6
2022 stats: 68/97 (70.1 pct), 863 passing yards, 7 TD’s, 2 INT, 164.5 QBR
Many college football experts thought that the absence of Desmond Ridder at quarterback would be the beginning to the end for the Cincinnati Bearcats offense as they look to the future. Not so fast, as Eastern Michigan transfer, Ben Bryant, has led this offense to a top 20 ranking of both pass completion percentage (71.6 pct) and passing yards per game (319.7) through Week 3.
Bryant has played just three games against power conference opponents and in three games has totaled the following stat line: 33-for-60 (55.0 pct), 369 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Though he has performed well at home throughout his career, Bryant will be getting plenty of pressure from Dasan McCullough and Cam Jones up front. The more pressure Indiana football can get on Bryant, the better chance the Hoosiers have to pull off an impressive road win.
