When I say improvement, I am just purely talking about standard quarterbacking. I am not talking about other things that go with the position. I would say Brandon Peters is a more natural passer than AJ Bush was this time last season.
Through the first four games Bush played for the Illini, he was 40-of- 73 for 482 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception. Those aren’t good numbers, especially considering he played against Kent State, Rutgers and Western Illinois in three of those games. But the quarterback position has been upgraded with Peters.
In the first four games Peters has played for the Illini, he is 69-of-117 for 765 yards, 10 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.
