Russell Wilson. Connor Cook. And that's it.

Those are the only non-Buckeyes to claim the B1G's highest honor for quarterbacks since 2011, the year when the conference debuted all of its hyphenated awards. Dwayne Haskins winning in 2018 as a first-year starter gave Ohio State its second three-peat in the Griese-Brees pantheon. Wilson survived Joe Bauserman's candidacy and Cook, well, that was Ohio State's fault.

As fans of this team, we participate in a culture that remembers all of the bad things (Iowa! Purdue!) far more readily than the blessings (almost literally every other game!) which means we get to ask important questions, like is it reasonable to expect the best QB in the conference every year and why aren't the Buckeyes on an eight-year Griese-Brees winning streak?
