O'Korn great game- Verified by TQBR
O'Korn had a great performance at Purdue. ESPN's QBR takes situational effectiveness into account in their ratings and I think this measure provides a beater measure of how well a quarterback performed.
A score of 50 is an average QB while top QBs will be in the 80-100 range.
O'Korn ranked #9 out of 116 QBs in week 4. I listed some other games as a reference point and these scores match closely with my evaluations of the quarterback performance in each game.

I'd be curious how replacement QB's typically score.

Nice to see an advanced metric backing up the eye test. JOK looked legit. Granted, it was against a mediocre defense. But Purdue had the crowd and the momentum when JOK came in as the replacement. Have yet to really see that his deep ball is as good as Speight's or how well he progresses through his reads, but I have faith in his pocket presence and ability to extend plays. Hopefully the rain/wind Saturday doesn't phase him.

He did under throw DPJ on that go route at the end of the first half. Would've been a TD if he hits him in stride.

The one aspect of O'Korn's performance that jumped out at me was he completed the 10-15 yard throws much better than Speight. Wilton either seemed to throw short or go deep and didn't really have much of an intermediate game.
Once JOK started connecting some of those medium passes, the offense seemed to start moving the chains.

Hopefully it's not too rainy/windy on Saturday and there isn't a repeat of last year's Indiana performance.

Of note is that Speight never showed up in the top 50 for any week while Lewerke is typically in the top 25. Should be a good game this Saturday.

Against some really bad defenses. Lewerke was 9th in the Big Ten in week 1 against BGSU. I have a feeling his rating is going to take a hit this week.

Isn't the only thing about him that is going to take a hit this week...

Also of note:
30-17 with under 2 minutes left.
Sparty logic: Basically a one possession game.

O'Korn had a good game. Expect him to have another good one against sparty.
GO BLUE!!
