Julian Sayin's Stellar Debut Season: A Look at the Numbers

Julian Sayin is making waves in his first year as Ohio State's starting quarterback. He's one of four players up for the Heisman Trophy this year. While he might not take home the trophy, his stats are impressive. Sayin has the highest completion percentage in the nation at 78. 4%. He's also leading the country in passer rating with 182. 2. His performance has helped Ohio State secure a 12-0 regular season, including a big win over Michigan. Sayin's accuracy is a standout feature of his game. He's completing more passes than any other Heisman finalist quarterback this year. His completion percentage is even higher than that of other notable Ohio State quarterbacks who have been Heisman finalists. This shows how much the passing game has evolved over the years. When compared to recent Heisman-winning quarterbacks, Sayin's completion rate is exceptional. Only Joe Burrow has come close to matching Sayin's accuracy in the past decade. However, Sayin's yardage and touchdown numbers are lower than those of other Heisman winners. This doesn't diminish his achievements, but it puts his season into perspective. Sayin's journey is remarkable, especially considering he's still an underclassman. His performance this year sets a high bar for his future seasons. If he continues to improve and adds more passing yards and touchdowns, he could very well be in the running for the Heisman next year.
