Dylan Raiola at Louisville? DJ Lagway at Baylor? Predicting every P4 starting QB in 2026

We aren't waiting for any of the dominoes to fall. We are tampering and prepared to name starting QBs nine months before the season starts.

Today's Athletic 'predicts' who will be the 'starting' QB in 2026 for Power 4 teams-including transfer portal players. Surprisingly, they predict Ryan Boe will be our starter. I can only hope that if that is the case, Ryan rises to the occasion like Kafka and Persa. We can certainly use the $ to get some more OL, DL, WRs.

But they won't know that until he plays.

If Ryan Boe is our starter, there will be growing pains. Let's see how the staff utilizes him in the bowl game.

If boe can’t go… don’t be surprised if O’Brien starts next fall

I won’t be surprised…I’ll be shocked. I can’t imagine them not bringing a transfer QB in to compete with Boe for the starting job.

My take on this is that The Athletic" spent zero time considering the QB situation at NU and only made mention because they were covering every team. I think 90% of us here on The Rock have a better feel for the QB situation at NU than the guy who wrote that article.

We SHOULD be seeking one who can more than just compete… but it sounds like nobody thinks we will.

Exactly correct.

Sadly, it’s also pretty telling for where we sit in the college football landscape. We’re in the big ten but among the most irrelevant teams in the P2. When uneven revenue sharing begins, we’re getting screwed. And when the super league officially happens, we’re getting relegated to a third tier collection of also-rans.

Merry Christmas!
